By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/exhausted-tokyo-residents-sleeping-on-the-street.htmlHardworking Japanese people fall off their feet and fall asleep right on the street and in other public places. In this issue is a series of photographs by British photographer Adrian Storey, taken on the streets of Tokyo.
In any other state, people sleeping in the subway, on benches or even in the middle of the streets could be mistaken for alcoholics, drug addicts or homeless people. But they are wearing decent clothes, and in their hands are briefcases with documents. These are Japanese workaholics burning at work who are unable to get home after a 12-hour working day.
British photographer Adrian Storey is better known online as Uchujin. This master of photography, now living in the Japanese capital, has traveled many countries in his life.
Living in Tokyo, the photographer discovered that in the evenings the city turns into a sleepy kingdom. Therefore, he often goes out on the streets of the city to conduct another photo hunt.
People sleeping in the subway, napping on stairs and benches in the park, on lawns and under trees, or even in the middle of the street on the sidewalk — a typical sight for the business center of the Japanese capital.
The author called his series about sleeping Japanese Let the poets cry themselves to sleep.
It is well known how hardworking the Japanese are, that they have one of the highest labor productivity in the world. But miracles do not happen, and you have to pay for such high results, exhausting yourself so that you will no longer have any strength to get home.
