Liminal space · Chiba, Japan

Former Nakanishi Pharmacy

A former pharmacy in a Western style, standing quietly in the Katakai neighborhood of Kujukuri, Chiba. Its white-painted clapboard walls and arched entrance porch give it a faintly foreign air. The paint is peeling and the windows are boarded up, yet its state of decay, just short of collapse, has a curiously stylish charm, and in summer it hides quietly behind thick vegetation.
