Peek Into Japan's Ghost Island from 'Skyfall'

Показать описание
Hashima (“battleship” in Japanese) Island is a 16-acre abandoned island about 10 miles off the coast of Nagasaki. With crumbling concrete buildings, abandoned undersea coalmines and a dramatic surrounding sea wall, the island is an eerie testament to Japan’s period of rapid industrialization. It is also a stark reminder of its dark history as a site of forced labor during World War II.

Awesome cinematography! Beautiful and eerie images.

*As a 日本人* this is an embarrassment to me. We've had 端島 designated a UNESCO World Heritage site but we fail to honour—or even acknowledge—the hundreds of Koreans who died of malnutrition and brutal conditions while performing forced labour on the island. We can do better.

"time capsule" would imply that the objects of everyday life were left in place. This is no different than the decayed industrial buildings of Detroit

This reminds me of the Krauser boss fight in Resident Evil 4.

This place is also the basis for Yamijima Island from Forbidden Siren 2, an underrated game
