Photo Series Shows the Harsh Reality of Japanese Workers

Through a photographic series that conveys a lot of information, Tesinsky presents us with a Japan full of tired workers, capable of lying down anywhere to fall asleep and rest a little. These are people who come from a working day of up to 14 hours a day – even more when the need exists.

And still exhausted, they find a moment to go out with their friends for a happy hour and, when they can’t make it home after a night of drinking, they end up falling asleep in the same subway stations. Take a look at the images below.
