Genkan Type:Unframed When Yubari filed for fiscalA genkan inside the Ogurawa settlement, a pair of shoes left on the step under a layer of dust, the entryway open to fading light. Company housing at Chichibu Mine served a community of workers and families who built their lives around the mine's fortunes. When metal extraction ceased in 1978, families began leaving; the last permanent resident departed in September 2006. Part of the Nichitsu Mining Village series.
