#DilapidatedStoreFrontChic in #Minuma ward #Saitama #Japan #日本 #埼玉県 #さいたま市 #見沼区

The boxy protrusion facing the street of a larger two-storey building that is dual purpose. The rest of the building is mostly obscured by this store front. It's rectangular in shape. At the bottom are two sets of rolled down shutters, and an awning, of which only still exists the poles that used to hold the plastic tarpaulin that used to provide a bit of shade. Above that hangs the store sign, the left 2 thirds of which is completely gone and just left a dark spot. I can read the name Yoshida and the English word "store" written in Japanese katakana characters - I'm not sure what they used to sell here. The second storey is straight plastered wall in yellowish gray interrupted by a window. The wall could do with replastering. The shutters are starting to rust from the bottom up. There is a staircase leading straight up on the left side to the residential portion. Like many of these buildings in Japan, people still live there but the commercial activity has ostensibly died decades ago.

A boxy single-storey building whose front consists of closed shutters topped with a corrugated metal extension, just enough to put a big store name sign on it. There used to be an awning but only the skeleton remains. Everything is in beige, grayish colors but it's weathered and patchy.

A narrow, boxy two-storey building with shutters closed. Above the balcony on the service floor is a panel of rusty metal.

#DilapidatedStorefrontChic in #Kōnosu #Saitama #Japan #日本 #埼玉県 #鴻巣 - I love that no amount of decay in the back will keep political posters from being plastered on.

From right to left: a number of small square looking two-storey buildings side by side. They used to be business but all the shutters are closed. Then there is a fence and behind it a glimpse of a building that used to be there. Some debris still sticks to the shared wall with the neighbor. On the fence somebody pasted the candidate poster for the local election. The sun is coming in hard from the side. Nobody there. All very gloomy.
