It's not as uncommon as you'd think to see men clad in business attire asleep on the streets of Tokyo, thanks to Japan's longtime unrelenting work culture.
- Japan is notorious for its exhaustive work culture, one that has employees spending long hours in the office.
- After a long work day, some workers are known to turn to drinking at local bars to blow off some steam.
- But, after too many drinks, they'll sometimes miss the last train home and have no other choice than to get some shut-eye on the streets of the city's center.
- Warsaw-born photographer Pawel Jaszczuk captured the phenomenon of the slumbering "salarymen," as they're known in Japan, and compiled the images in a photo series and book titled "High Fashion."
- The resulting photos show just how vigorous Japanese corporate culture can be.
