Haves and have-Nots..

The Shinkansen crossing the Tamagawa into Tokyo.
On the left (the Tokyo side) is Den-en-Chofu田園調布, the most expensive place to live in Japan.
On the right bank some homeless people fish for dinner in the shadow of opulance.
In Japan, the homeless make houses out of heavy-duty blue construction tarps on the banks of the rivers - some of them complete with deck, pier and boat. It's the usual thing for a few of them to drown when the river bursts its banks.
