【かつて栄えた村は今】還らざる道~早川町の大規模集落

History encompasses many aspects, from ancient to modern times, but here we will examine Japanese history from the perspective of settlements. We will visit abandoned villages and marginal settlements throughout Japan to show what has become of once-flourishing villages, and present the current state of these settlements where people once lived. We aim to create works that evoke nostalgia for old townscapes and a sense of longing for home. #AbandonedVillage #MarginalSettlement #OldTownscape #HistoricalRoad #RuinsExploration #GhostTown
