These are so cool! I often see outlines of other buildings on the sides of larger buildings. It has always amazed me how carefully workers are able to deconstruct old buildings, leaving only the image of something that was there just days ago. What was even more amazing was the first time I watched them put together an entire house in the space of three days. I lived on a very narrow street here in Nagoya, and they brought in a tiny truck with all of the wooden beams numbered. It was just a matter of putting the puzzle together, and, voilà, a new house was born!
It's astonishing how absence can be so loud and visible. You captured it so well in these photos; these are not only ghosts but also phantonm limbs of being.
The building may look grimy, but there is a history a notion of time to it, and a sense that it has become lost but is just waiting to be found. At least this is what the last picture conveyed to me, honestly I'd love to just be able to touch it and feel the cold stone beneath my hand, as there is a great deal of energy of sorts to these sorts of buildings in Japan.
They have a sense all to themselves of both history, and of the previous people who have lived in them. One I cannot define, cannot describe, they are honestly one of the most fascinating things about the country. A building like that in Canada is just a derelict building.
But one such as this in Japan is more than that, it is a part of a larger tapestry, a part of a greater whole. It is fascinating that such buildings aren't rejected by the Japanese, or by Japan like they are in Canada, so that there is something almost magical about discovering such a building.
Hahaha sometimes I worry I might be overthinking things, but yes I very much enjoy them and feel a monstrous longing to see many of the places you took pictures of in the 2010s again. Seeing your pictures is a comfort.
That's interesting. If I ever find it I'll definitely take pictures. (^O^)

Walls that are unexpectedly exposed to the sun look bashful.
I have also seen buildings that were completed simply by assembling parts. It looked like a plastic model house.
Disturbingly beautiful.
I feel a fascination with it that is connected to ruins.

I see. You gave me a hint. I probably should have titled it "Visible Absence".

Thanks for sharing it Shimizu-san.
I admire you for making such observations based on photos of these buildings. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed them.
