The Ruin of Ruins: Battleship Island in Japan.

Enjoy Monstercolors 

What's now decay and rot once was bright and brilliantly full of hope: 
Who lived here? What were their lives like? What happened? How did 
it all come apart? How did it all crumble to almost nothing?

In the case of Hashima Island, or Battleship Island (hope and 
optimism became dust and decay because one black resource (coal) 
was replaced by a cheaper black resource (oil). Populated first in 1887, 
the island – which is 15 kilometers from Nagasaki – only began to really, 
and phenomenally, become populated much later, in 1959.

Hashima is, for many ruin fans, the rotting and collapsing grail, the 
benchmark all other crumbling structures are measured against – 
and seeing pictures of the place it's easy to see why. Not only is 
Hashima frighteningly preserved in some places, as if the residents 
had just stepped out as few minutes before, but it is also, contrarily, spectacularly 
falling down. Beyond its current awe-inspiring state of 
decay, the island's dramatic isolation and its bizarre history make it 
the ruin of ruins.

Hashima was the most densely populated area – ever. On that tiny 
island, crammed into what are now decaying tenements, were thousands 
of miners, their families (including children), support staff, administration, 
and everything necessary to make their lives at least tolerable. It's hard to imagine 
when looking at the empty doorways, ghostly apartments, and hauntingly 
vacant corridors what the lives of those people might have been 
like.
