Life in a slum area in Osaka, Japan

Most of japanese people don’t have a clue that there is a
slum in Japan. You can only see the groups of grandmas and
grandpas drinking wine, sake and smoking the cigarettes all
days. I’ve spent several full days with them. People warned
me not to go there and definitely not try to make photos
there. I went there and i’ve met only very few people that
were so friendly as them in my life..

 

I’ve returned on March, 2023 after 11 years and started to look for the people from my pictures. Most of them were dead.
