My students in the study abroad program took a similar picture of me exhausted and napping
on the couch in the center of a shopping mall. When they showed me the picture later it was
really funnying with a dozen American families standing around smiling as they stop to hear me
snoring loudly and seeing Japanese students taking souvenir pictures. Put a sombrero on me
and I would have passed as a Mexican.
So all the pictures of Tokyo people taken by tourist or any other country for that matter f.e. on flickr and anywhere else on the web are invasion of privacy?

Slept so courteous - left enough space for another guy to to sit. Only in Japan people...

I always thought the posting an unauthorized photo in public would be an infringement of privacy and punishable by law ?

Thats a nap?? I hope they checked to see if he was breathing.

Still amazed by the ability of many Japanese people to sleep anywhere in almost any position.

a bit invasive, meaningless picture to me.

I'm with Pyuko. I doubt this man would consent to you posting this photo, if given the opportunity.

Let's not think of our country as crimeless. He could have been the victim of a knife-wielding nutjob.
