Summary: "As I sat down to write this introduction, the media was telling heart-wrenching stories about homeless people in Tokyo, about how "they" experienced a gigantic typhoon-which claimed the lives of one hundred Japanese people in October 2019-differently from "us." The first report was about two homeless men who tried to enter an evacuation centre set up at a public gymnasium but were immediately rejected by its operator-a municipal government of Tokyo's Taito Ward-and thrown out into the turbulent weather (Aoki 2019). The second concerned an individual who disappeared in the elevated waters of the Tama River, which runs through the middle of Tokyo; he was swept away by the currents and (according to the media) became the only victim of this typhoon in the Tokyo Metropolis (Adachi and Wada 2019)"--
