Polish photographer Pawel Jaszczuk has been living in Tokyo for seven years. Duirng that time, he has been documenting drunk salarymen passed out on sidewalks.
One of my very first posts on TokyoMango (in 2006!!) was a series of photographs of a drunk salaryman being escorted off of the Yamanote line by a stationmaster.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

I was amazed at how many sleeping people I ran across when I was in Japan -- and everywhere, too. In the train station, on the train, on benches, in the street.
As for this post, I like the guy who hung up his jacket before crashing out. Then there is the one dude who apparently took off his shoes (or left the house without them). Classic.

Thirty years ago I was a young Marine stationed in Hiroshima Japan. I bought a business blue suit and drank with the salarymen. I once passed out on the train and ended up in Shimonoseki. It was all great fun. Especially the time I brought a beer bong to the beer garden. The salarymen were barfing all over the place. They never allowed the funnel into the garden again.
