Studio transformer before the broader collapse ofSunlight cuts through the windows of a derelict studio inside the Ogurawa settlement, falling across workbenches and equipment left where they stood. The studio was part of the self contained community that Nitchitsu Co. Ltd. built around Chichibu Mine.
