03 THE STORY

About this print

Green weight stacks rise within a central metal frame in a decayed room at Kuwashima Orthopaedic Clinic, part of what appears to be rehabilitation equipment left to corrode. Control panels line the wall to the left, some with text still legible. Mould has spread across the ceiling above. The floor is stained concrete.

Kuwashima Orthopaedic Clinic provided orthopaedic and post-surgical rehabilitation services in Yubari, southern Hokkaido. The weight stacks and the control panels around them served that function across the working life of the building. Yubari's population peaked at over 100,000 in the 1960s during the coal mining boom and fell below 10,000 in the decades that followed as the mines closed. The clinic was abandoned at some point in that contraction.
