Frozen in time, the lodge is located on a snowy volcano in Hokkaido, Japan.  Walking through the rooms, it seemed the inhabitants had simply fled.  Fireplaces were stacked with wood and wedding albums were laid open on desks. Decay--artfully arranged by the wind and water that had swept in over the years--overwhelmed everything with ice and moss  Past and present, winter and summer existed in the same moment. It was an eerily beautiful, incredibly silent lost world.
