This picture is harmful to the dignity of the guy, not that a guy with dignity will do what he did but still, is it ok to publish such pictures and then bash the people on them?
Well no matter what if this was not a planned picture then it is funny to the public. As an ex-free-lance photographer I would have been proud of the picture & if it was back in those days I would have sent a 5X7" inlargment to Leica or Pentax depending upon which camera I had used & stated what lens or whatever I had used.
Yes both Leica & Pentax approved of such free-lance photographs.
this guy deserves a place in the facebook group titled "Nobody Sleeps Like The Japanese Do" it would add nicely to the wide collection of people sleeping in improbable contorted positions

Whoa, you will never see me being so vulnerable like that in public, you never know what strangers will do.

Taking a nap? I think he's still asleep from hitting all the bars and strip joints.

More like "Drunk and homeless in Shibuya"

I think all the graffiti around him wards off any evil spirit which trys to attack him while he's sleeping.
gamera
Looks like something from the "drunk calendar".

COins have fallen out of his pocket, and nobody's picking them up

Yep he is most likely hammered and passed out and I think he soiled himself yuck!!!
serindipity
That's one to show his grandkids! LOSER!

The guys a drunken bum, nothing more to it. He's going to be in a lot of pain when he wakes up, too.

Looks like another victim of 'stabby' Summer.

lipscombe

He must be tired from writing all that graffiti crap. But he can still point out his handiwork in his sleep. Get a job you bum.
Altria
He's left himself vunerable to a kancho attack.

I do not approve today's picture of the day :)

Is this picture a set-up or what? Everyone knows that if you want to sleep like that, you go to a net cafe.
Sarge
I approve of this picture of the day.

Hes not taking a nap.. hes drunk of his chops!!!

JT - more appropriate caption is: "Passed out from a drunken nooner binge in the summer heat in Shibuya."

The poop stain is classic. This guy is roasted, and can you imagine the smell around him? That is why nobody has picked up the coins.
Hughgarse
you have to love the Sleeping Samurai`s in this country.
DirtyOldJoe
another JT classic - why not take some photos of Shinjuku Central Park too, you'll find some gems there...
ataro
He is doing Yoga

A real seller for the tourism department. I'm loading up the kids for Shibuya right now...!
Azrael
I think he fainted and needs help, but all the photographer thought to do was to take a photo of this man's distress and walk away with his loot.
