Ken House spring and a green-trimmed doorframe andKen House occupies a two storey commercial building in Shimizusawa, its name fixed to a peeling white facade above a row of closed roller shutters. The canopy awning has buckled under the weight of Yubari's winters, and neighbouring shopfronts press in tight on either side. The research file notes that music from a nearby store played continuously here, even when the street was otherwise empty. Part of the Streetscapes of Yubari series.
