04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A Yamaha VK540 snowmobile sits on bare gravel beside a quiet road. The seat vinyl is torn open, exposing yellowed foam. Rust spreads across the rear cargo rack. The windscreen is still intact but clouded. Behind it, a low prefabricated building with corrugated walls stands against a hillside of bare brown scrub. Power lines cross overhead. No snow anywhere.

Streetscapes of Yubari

2018 · 54 photographs

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.
