The Japanese island of Hashima, which was bought by the “Mitsubishi” corporation at the end of the 19th century with the aim of exploiting coal below sea level, was made official in 2015 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a significant site of the new era of Japanese architecture, the island is still challenging to consider even after its complete abandonment in the mid-seventies of the 20th century, not only because of the collected testimonies of the past, but also as a symbolic warning on the question of the duration of progress in capitalist society.
