Do you believe this is in Tokyo? Ten square meters of space, one window, a sleeping place, no bathroom or kitchen, a clothesline hanging full of clothes across the head, tangled phone cords, stacks of magazines, yesterday's garbage at the feet, an ashtray filled with cigarette butts, half-drunk drinks, and skin care products staggered here and there on the table. In a small dwelling, there is a real Tokyo style beyond the media illusion. The furniture is found, the scenery is borrowed, but the things you love are within reach. The collection of dolls, comics, records, shoes and hats almost overflows the room, and the taverns, parks, beaches, and racetracks that you often visit are just outside the door. You can live a stylish life without spending a lot of money.

Elderly people living alone = miserable old age? ! The 16 seniors interviewed by the author in "Elderly Living Alone" will break the world's prejudice with their leisurely and contented living conditions. Some of them have been single for a long time, some have experienced the ups and downs of life and have bid farewell to their close relatives and friends one by one, and some of their brothers, sisters and children are still alive somewhere. Although each of them is not very wealthy, they are all in a small house, immersed in the things they like - photography, dancing, painting, watching movies, riding motorcycles, performing performance art, singing on the streets... There is no pressure, no disturbance in interpersonal relationships, and no anxiety about the future. It seems that every day is quite enjoyable. They are a group of energetic young people, but they are just a little older. Dare to be an old man living alone, dare not to observe words and emotions, is also a STYLE suitable for today's increasingly aging society.
