PingMag interviews Anke Haarman, creator of the documentary "Public Blue," which takes us into the world of the No-jyuku sha, or "campers in the rough." The state of Japan's homeless communities (estimated at about 25,000) is like none other, aesthetically as well as behaviorally, where communities and villages gather, unite, sustain, migrate, and regroup.
Especially in Osaka, these 'campers' not only organize themselves increasingly over the internet. They also engage in political activities to stand up for their rights and protest against the increasing park clearings by the municipality.
