Sushi Blog — homeless in japan

Simon and Martina introduce Yohei, their friend and who enjoys his life to the fullest being a homeless.  While most homeless people are reduced to being one after running out of their life's options, Yohei is a different breed who chooses to be homeless taking advantage of the freedom it offers. The video reveals why the vagabond is so happy every day of his life.

The video explores how people end up homeless in Japan.  Although some of the root causes may be universally common and may be true in other countries, there are some factors uniquely attributed to the culture, lifestyle and norms of Japanese society, which explain why there are so few homeless women. Professor Tom Gill delves into this issue through sociological lens.
