Homeless

Homeless by caribb.
A sad reality. Even in this wealthy country and clean and spotless city some people still don't find success. I felt guilty taking this picture as if it somehow disturbed his privacy but as always it's good to show that we are all only a certain number of pay cheques away from this situation. At least his lonely universe is nicely wrapped up. Ironically that's utterly Japanese. I wish him well and future success.

Yep.. Japanese society is very stressful. There's a lot of pressure on men especially to succeed in life.

Unfortunately some of the homeless issues are due to untreated mental illnesses.

It's the same here too. That's the hardest thing really, often they could be treated but they can't bring themselves to where they have to be to get help.
