    Since last year, especially Q4 2008, all media and Parliament here in Japan have been saying that in 2009 we are experiencing the most severe depression of the last 100 years and they are continuously reporting and updating the total number of unemployed and homeless.

    Do I understand this number?  When…..? Where…..? How.....? I have noticed the increasing number of shops which have closed and shifted to web shops.

    And when I walk along underground passages, I have seen that the number of homeless people has increased and I can distinguish, amongst them, those who have newly joined them.

    However, in life in countryside where I live, I don’t feel a big change. 
    The price of food is cheap because there are farms, the sea and market-gardens nearby.  In the countryside inhabitants are not so fashionable, and we don’t have a lot of places in which to eat out so we don’t acquire the habit of eating out.

    I have decided to try and take 100 photos of people smiling and making the Peace Sign as proof that 2009 is also shining bright even though these are hard times; I hope people never forget how to smile.
