Most of 1,126 homeless people in Tokyo dwell in parks, on the street, and by the river. Rarely do they mingle with the rest of population・・・but the typhoon brought them to the forefront of our consciousness.
On Sunday night, as the torrential rain and huge gusts of wind were coursing through Tokyo, word began to spread about the shelter in Taito.
Many people were immediately outraged. On the other hand, some voiced concerns about hygiene, while others were concerned about the homeless people's mental condition.
Some were simply scared to share the same space with them.
