The Vanished: The "Evaporated People " of Japan in Stories and Photographs, Mauger Lena

A Tokyo neighborhood so notorious for its petty criminal activities that it was literally erased from the maps
Reprogramming camps for subpar bureaucrats and businessmen to become better employees
The charmless citadel of Toyota City, with its iron grip on its employees
The suicide cliffs of Tojinbo, patrolled by a man fighting to save the desperate
The desolation of Fukushima in the aftermath of the tsunami

And yet, as exotic and foreign as their stories might appear to an outsiders eyes, the human experience shared by the interviewees remains powerfully universal.
