Tokyo Metro Manners – FAILED – Again!
Tasty Miso’s Funny Tokyo Metro Advertisements
For more morsels of good manner campaign goodness check out Tasty Miso’s alternative versions to the Tokyo Metro “Please Do It At Home” manner posters.
Every year Tokyo Metro runs a “good manner” campaign that describes the type of behaviour that is not tolerated on Tokyo’s subways. Yet every year continues to find perpetrators who blatantly ignore the “good manner” message.
Publicly Sleeping Salarymen
Salarymen are the Japanese corporate livestock. They are the thousands of faceless, suited, white collar office-workers. Dutiful conformists whose lives revolve entirely around work. They work long hours and when their day is over, they are often found spending their evenings in a local izakaya or karaoke bar plying themselves full of sake or beer or shōchū until the last train.
The following collection features 10 of the best publicly sleeping salarymen photos. Those who made the last train, and those who didn’t.
