Ueno Homeless Man - a photo on Flickriver

Ueno Homeless Man

            Ueno Park in Tokyo is a home to many homeless people , they would consider themselves to have escaped from society and even have their own society and form of hierarchy amongst themselves . The long term stay in camps,  like small villages made of cardboard and blue tarps .
I didn't catch this guys name but he looked pretty content sitting on his makeshift lounger in the sun and enjoying a carton of Saki and was perfectly happy for me to make his photo.
