there are many homeless people in Tokyo and we watched a short video about it last time.
a man appared in the movie, Mr Saito, is one of the people living in a homeless park in Tokyo. he looked quite a gentle person for me and he was speaking to the interviewer so calmly.
he's living there because he lost his job at a steel factory and earning about $15 per a day by re-selling comic books. he uses candles instead of lights and that seemed very uncomfortable for me.
he often goes to a department store to look through clothes and he have some expensive things and is keeping them in his little closet.
and a woman appeared in the last part of the movie said that many homeless people still have themselves but i cant fully agree with it because i couldnt understand why Mr Saito spend his money on fashion goods. of course none of those homeless people wanted to live as homeless and it was inevitable to be like that but i dont think its really the way of living as one of the social members in this modernised society. they have to work and pay taxes and so they should spend money on their hobby after they get a new job and finish being a homeless. this is only a opinion of mine and i know that i dont have enough knowkedge about homeless people in japan but at least now, i dont agree with what the woman said.
