A surreal, devastating story of a homeless ghost who haunts one of Tokyo's busiest train stations.
Kazu is dead. Born in Fukushima in 1933, the same year as the Japanese Emperor, his life is tied by a series of coincidences to the Imperial family & has been shaped at every turn by modern Japanese history. But his life story is also marked by bad luck, & now, in death, he is unable to rest, doomed to haunt the park near Ueno Station in Tokyo. Kazu’s life in the city began & ended in that park; he arrived there to work as a laborer in the preparations for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics & ended his days living in the vast homeless village in the park, traumatized by the destruction of the 2011 tsunami & shattered by the announcement of the 2020 Olympics.
Through Kazu’s eyes, we see daily life in Tokyo buzz around him and learn the intimate details of his personal story, how loss & society’s inequalities & constrictions spiraled towards this ghostly fate, with moments of beauty & grace just out of reach. A powerful masterwork from one of Japan’s most brilliant outsider writers, Tokyo Ueno Station is a book for our times & a look into a marginalized existence in a shiny global megapolis.
