Zero Yen Houses Book
By Kyohei Sakaguchi (2004)
Behind the blue tarp cover image is a collection of photographs that document the Japanese shanty-like housing encampments built of found objects and a love for what's free. Constructed by frugal means by those that prefer a life without ties, a strong sense of pride and craftmanship reveals itself in the consistent aesthetic that one would only find in Japan.
"Man can also build the house so that the bird may build the nest. Wall of morning-glory, house of pottery pipe, and two-generation house with dog. The total cost of all construction -- 0 yen. "
Photographed in and around Shirakawa Park, Kamagasaki and Shinjuku Central Park etc.
