{"product_id":"jordy-meow-abandoned-japan-9782361951320","title":"Abandoned Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003eJapan is often thought of as a place where the modern world and ancient traditions meet in\n surprising and fascinating ways. The rapid pace of technological, social and cultural change\n throughout the 20th century propelled the country forward but left countless establishments,\n industries and entire towns deserted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough his photography Jordy Meow explores these forgotten places and sheds light on a lost\n world that was thriving just a few decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      \u003ci\u003eAbandoned Japon\u003c\/i\u003e documents famed ruins (\u003ci\u003ehaikyo\u003c\/i\u003e in Japanese) such as Gunkanjima, the island\n featured in the Bond movie \u003ci\u003eSkyfall\u003c\/i\u003e, which once had a population of over 5,000 but is now\n completely abandoned, and the Disneyland-inspired Nara Dreamland theme park. Beyond\n these well-known sites, Jordy Meow also takes us on a journey through every aspect of a\n rapidly disappearing past: from schools and hospitals to industrial sites and nightlife, including\n strip clubs and love hotels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ruins captured here range from the quaint and serene to the dark and nightmarish. Some\n have an atmosphere reminiscent of the animation films of Studio Ghibli while others seem\n almost dystopian. These places show that people can leave a lasting mark on their environment\n but, given the chance, nature finds its way back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonglez","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53916634972502,"sku":"9782361951320-V","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/jordy-meow-abandoned-japan-9782361951320","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
