Hey there mate.
Thanks for the interest in my Tokyo Godfathers photo.
Just for the record, those tarp and carboard buildings you see them occupying in the movie... those are there too! ;)

Wow! That's quite interesting! I had no idea homelessness had such a presence in Japan.

Oh absolutely, as far as I remember the official numbers for Tokyo estimate around 16000 homelss people, but unofficially the number is said to be around 25-30000.
Most of them are from the time that their bubble economy burst in the early 1990's.
Some young people too, for the same reasons as in the movie.

Wow. That's a pretty significant number! I guess that makes the movie all the more fascinating, really.

The strange thing about homeless people in Japan is that they still seem to retain that dignity they used to have. Packing up their cardboard houses every morning, sweeping the path outside etc.
