Hashima is a small island located off the extreme southwest coast of Japan, about ten miles from Nagasaki. Its dark warship-like silhouette earned it nickname of Gunkanjima (battleship island). During the wave of industrialisation in nineteenth century, a coal seam was discovered on the island and the Mitsubishi corporation opened a mine there.
