Rusted steel cladding covers the gable end of a timber-framed house. The metal sheets have oxidised to deep brown and orange, with patches of original colour still visible near the roofline. Blue trim lines the eaves. Ground-floor windows are clouded with grime and curtain remnants. Dead knotweed and scrub press against the walls. Debris litters the wet ground. The sky is flat and grey. Conifers stand tall behind the structure, dwarfing it.

Streetscapes of Yubari
Yūbari is a coal-mining city in central Hokkaido. Founded in 1943, its population peaked at around 120,000 in the 1960s and now sits at about 6,400. The colliery closed in the 1980s. The city's attempt to recover through tourism failed; in 2007 it became the first Japanese municipality to declare bankruptcy, owing 35.3 billion yen. These streetscapes were taken between the houses, shops, and schools the town no longer needs - most empty, some half-collapsed, some still in use by the people who stayed.
