Kids Bedroom chatswood undisturbedA Slam Dunk manga poster and a folded length of indigo patterned fabric lean against the darkened timber panelling of a child's bedroom in the Ogurawa settlement, Nichitsu, Saitama. Frosted glass windows draw flat light across the grey carpet and scattered debris. The settlement was uninhabited from September 2006, the mine having shed its families steadily since metal extraction ceased in 1978. Part of the Nichitsu Mining Village series.
