Shopfront Size:XS their bare hardwood floor intactA green beauty salon sign still clings to the upper facade of a two storey commercial building in Yubari, the awning below it torn and collapsed, curtains hanging behind cracked glass. The shopfront is gutted. In a city whose population fell from a peak of around 107,972 to fewer than 6,000 today, this building is one of hundreds. Part of the Streetscapes of Yubari series.
