Japan’s housing system is a bit different than the rest of the world’s. For instance, although Tokyo and the surrounding locality constitute the largest metropolitan area in the world, no doubt complete with houses, apartments, sky rises and lofts, sometimes they still make old ladies live in the closets of the seemingly wealthy.

And for an entire year too.

In the late sixties there was a strange attraction travelling on the county fair circuit. It was the remains of what looked like an incredibly hairy human frozen in a big transparent block of ice – and for 25 cents you could take a peek for yourself.
