Yubari Backstreet carriageworks A timber staircase inside oneA narrow backstreet in Yubari runs between a two storey timber clad building and a rendered shopfront, grass pushing through at the kerb edge. Utility poles and a steep hillside fill the background. The street sits within a city that once housed more than 100,000 people and now holds fewer than 6,000. Part of the Streetscapes of Yubari series.
