Homeless

What more can you say about Japanese people?  Even the homeless have a way of maintaining order and tidiness in the face of adversity. This has to be the best cardboard home I've ever seen.  Bookshelves, mini-kitchen, storage space, even a toilet paper dispenser!  This home was located under a bridge, on a street between Shibuya and Harajuku, just outside of Miyashita Park, which currently is the center of a lot of controversy.

Miyashita Park has long been the home of people without a home. Nike has recently bought this park from the city and is planning to turn it into a skate park.  However, the "residents" there are defiantly opposed to it.  Watch this interesting short documentary on the subject, called "Our Park", by Emil Langballe and Maria Samoto le Dous.
