If Japan's unemployment insurance scheme wasn't so ridiculously inadequate, the number of homeless wouldn't be rising so dramatically.

Fascinating to read this article in the Times by Richard Lloyd Parry:

Japanese homeless declare war on newcomers to the neighbourhood

It reads so much like that Yomiuri piece above that an unkind soul might think that Lloyd Parry had plagiarized it while changing the setting to Shinjuku and making up the name of a homeless person there to pretend he had written an original report. I can't believe, though, that a conscientious and honourable journalist would do such a thing.

AFP has a gallery of photographs taken by Richard Brooks which features homless people around Osaka.
