In Japan, throwing out food as a dump is not so unusal. I think it is not nomal condition of society.
And picking up the dumped foods for their food by homeless people is also not so unusal. And I also think it is not nomal condition of society.
And it seem that nowday, Japanese people start to think nothing when they witness this kind of scene. It is fucking abnormal !
Japanese people start to become mindless. We need not to change society, but we must change our mind.
at a least, he go way from gabage, but
something is hooked in his mind. anyway, I don’t konw why he has toy sword.
he come back to the gabage. and serching again.
Yes ! he can find out bread !
what’s the hell ! Why are you taking a picture ?
Oh, I see, you also want this bread, don’t you ? OK, OK. hey, take it.
I declined his proposition politely.
I thought that we must change our mind.

You should have taken the bread and sold it on eBay!
=================from MasaManiA
You are idea man.
One Japanese fact) In Japan, Yahoo auction is more popular. lots of people don’t know the name of eBay.
He looks so young! Is it that hard to find a job in Japan right now?
=====================from MasaManiA
Yes, it is difficult. I also hard to find job.
In America bum do not dress so nicely. Do all bum wear nice clothes in Japan Masa?
=======================from MasaManiA
Some homeless wear nice, some don’t. you will know about it later from my future posting.
did you tell him why you were taking his picture? 😛 I also wonder why had had some toy swrods… maybe he will try to sell it to little kids to make some money. (maybe he also found them in trash?)
Masa, you really are an amazing photographer and journalist, you manage to find stories in anything. Great work, I love it.
this is mildly cruel in a difficult to pin down way…kudos to the photographer for exploiting this strange angle of entertainment
Poor guy! That was really nice of him to offer you the bread ^_^; It is sad that people witness this and dont do anything about it 🙁
man,
you are kind a miss marple or maigret of poignant and extreme stories and situations.
you go outside with you cam and you always find stuff to tell or photograph – like maigret has to solve a murder in every episode…
your site is great – i’m enjoying every chapter of it!
greetings from germany,
stephan k.
difficult to find a job? don’t the govt do anything to aid the jobless?
He looks very suitable to act as a samurai in the next epic called The One After the Last Samurai.
His hair is perfect for making into one of those samurai hairdo. I’d sign him if I’m a Scout Agent.
===============from MasaManiA
You can be good agent.
This would be more interesting if we could hear from the homeless guy. Do you dare to talk to your subjects?
Damn this site is so fucking great, I love it! I love it so fucking much i might as well orgasm here XD hahah just kidding, but seriously, your site is so damn great, i’ve never seen anything like if before, so it’s pretty original 😀 Keep up the good work!
maybe he thought you were homeless too.
====================from MasaManiA
I hope it is not so.
http://masamania-com.check-xserver.jp/archives/pic/homeless12.jpg
Masa, I feel that when I look into his eyes in this photo, I can feel his pain. This picture has moved me very much. We also have many homeless people in New York City, and I never stop to think about them like you do. I feel we here in America must also change our minds about these people; I feel we must help them any way we can, instead of fighting ridiculous war in Iraq.
=======================From MasaManiA
Yes, that’s right. and you know, to help them is fun also. Let’s help homeless.
I always look on tv and search about japan documentary…well..i’ve seen about homeless people and they say that most of em injured at work and become homeless..japan is lovely, but these kinda situation must change…
im from italy..here’s the same…if u lose something in yr life (wife, son, work in average age) u can turn in homeless :/
i hate this..help them…
btw are u japanese? i n33d to come but it’s an expensive nation…sigh ..im poor 😐
Dude.. You got some SICK Shit bro.. I enjoy your writing.. You also have good abstract reasoning, with sound questioning on society… Japan seems interesting.. Maybe you would be interested in Midwest Farming.. hahhha
IZZLE FOR SHIZZLE MY NIZZLE
PEACE OUT
HIT ME UP!! You’ve Been TERPINATED
I see he has on a spot coat but no shirt under it. Is he trying to make some sort of Miami Vice statement with that?
I like the old school red volkswagon bug in the background
also this man reminds me of someone famous?
I think that Japan should get the homeless together with all the good stuff that people do not want and have a party. I do not like wasted people or stuff.
Is that a red porshe 911 in the backround in te first pic?
========-from MasaManiA
sorry but I dont know.
Does the japanese government give food to this persons? Or they decline to go where food is offered?
=========from MasaManiA
I have never asked him yet.
Is this the country of the Playstation? of he digital swatches and the Suzuki motorbikes? One of the richest countries in the world? Why a poor man need to look for food in the rubbish?
He’s look like wandering samurai in post-meiji restoration era ….
you should give him some food or soemthing. Its sad to see homeless people on street.
No comments!
it is so commom in the place of the world that i live; Third World!!
The worst, is if he don’nt have a good garbage to look in!
Open your eyes! it occur’s all over the wolrd!
fuck government! Fuck all the G8 countries!
They can’t see what’s is going on the earth!
There’ s idiots that only can see a porche in this pictures! Oh my god! _ bring them to the real world!
frederico,
brazil, sao paulo

poor guy “:(
someone give him some spare change so he can buy some food
I think the world is and has always been in a sorry state. These things have been happening since the dawn of civilation. AND yet.. when they teach history.. which is supose’d to stop the past from repeting in future genarations… tell the tales of the lowly. Its all about politics and socities grander.. what a bunch of crap. I think its time we start seeing the real issues and help each other. Good on yea man.. your site rocks, its true to its oath. Keep it up!!!
you make me sick. you always say you just looking for the truth.. what kinda the truth for this. taking the pictures from homeless for fun ? you fucking japs make me sick
“you make me sick. you always say you just looking for the truth.. what kinda the truth for this. taking the pictures from homeless for fun ? you fucking japs make me sick”
What part of taking photos of homeless did Masa say was “fun”? Even nobody took pictures of homeless people…that doesn’t make homeless people non-existant! The truth is that there are people having to go through garbage to find food…and what a journalist tries to do is to show people that…now more people know that we should try to help homeless people! Now what is wrong with that?
But I mean, I guess saying “ALL JAPS MAKE ME SICK” is politically correct…so yeah…you must be right.
Hell!
MasaMania is true. Homeless is true. Funny is true. People who get funny of homeless is true. People who take pictures for show all the world is true.
SO turn your nose CABRON and go other blog =)
Hey, I never gave my approval to put those pics of me on your stupid website you freak!!
I’m gonna sue your ass!!
Masa I’ve enough of your crappy website. I plan to come to Japan this year and I’m gonna rip you a new asshole. So please be prepared my son.
Oh by the way, I’ve been through a civil war in europe in the past, and I’ve decided that I should try to win in Japan the revolution I’ve lost in fuckin europe. Anyway, I’m gonna blast Japan into pieces. But I love Japan. That’s why you must already buy your stock of preparation H.
Your country needs a huge kick in the ass, and I won’t do a half-job… I hope that you will shot a movie of it.
I think I will have a lot of fun in Japan.
Japanese are little, that’s funny.
I can throw them into the air and stretch their bodies till they rip that’s so great…
I think this next summer will be very hot.
PROSINECKI I’m looking forward to destroy your ass when you’ll be in Japan. I come from Russia and I like to annihilate little tchecoslovak scum like you.
You’re right, this summer will be hot.
Yes I agree with the russian, There is enough Czecho-scum here, You are probably to poor to even buy a plane ticket. Probably couldnt find your way out of the airport.
Hey, Masa,
If you want an idea for an update…
Coordinate when PROSINECKI and KIPETROVITCHI come to Japan. Then, just bring your camera to the airport and keep taking pictures of those two. You could call it ‘Dog-legs II, when Euro-trash attacks’.
No offense to any Europeans out there…there are Europeans and there are Euro-trash, two totally different things. I don’t know what to call Another Fucking Gaijin…he never said where he was from.
Seriously, I DO think stupidity should be painful. It would be one thing if they had a mental issue (which, I would put in the category of ‘ignorance’, not ‘stupidity’), but they sound more ‘stupid-by-choice’ to me.
Hehe, good morning Masa!
What a surprise!First time visit this site but impressed enough to visit many times again, haha, you make me so curious about your Japan,Masa!
Ok I’ve got some news for you baka masa !
I’m gonna enter the shinjuku nihongo gakko in
April ! Cuz I want to understand what all this yellow shit is talkin bout !
See you there, you big dickhead !
Prepare your vaseline and open your black hole !I will take a plane at end of march and arrive at
narita airport… I begin my special commando training today. Call your emperor, cuz’ there’s gonna be big changes in your fuckin country ! !!
retsu gooooooo ! ! !
Well, PRO, I don’t think you’ll make any money. Sure, it would take some big changes in Japan before they let you become the first ‘commando proctologist’, but honestly, I don’t think there will be much of a market for that…

the last picture is what represents our world. there are thousands of ways to improve situations people all over the world live like, but society won`t do anything. one thing`s 4 sure: people won`t be equal..never. only when the apocalypse will arrive, maybe. till then, earth will be ruled by ignorance, selfishness and brutality. still, there are people who care about other people, though outnumbered, they remain this world`s last chance to survive.
