The crumbling island Hashima [a former coal mining facility] was once the most densely populated place on earth : In the 50’s over 13k people shared each square kilometre in its high-rises. It operated from 1887 until 1974 under Mitsubishi Motors co. But when the coal industry fell into decline, the mines were shut.

Packing what they could, leaving the rest to rot, the entire island population fled to the mainland in the blink of an eye…

…leaving the island in oblivion and disrepair.
