The Vanished: The "Evaporated People" of Japan in Stories and Photographs Book Information:

early one hundred thousand Japanese vanish without a trace. Known as the johatsu, or the evaporated, they are often driven by shame and hopelessness, leaving behind lost jobs, disappointed families, and mounting debts. In The Vanished, journalist Lna Mauger and photographer Stphane Remael uncover the human faces behind the phenomenon through reportage, photographs, and interviews with those who left, those who stayed behind, and those who help orchestrate the disappearances. Their quest to learn the stories of the johatsu weaves its way through: A Tokyo neighborhood so notorious for its petty criminal activities that it was literally erased from the maps Reprogramming camps for subpar bureaucrats and businessmen to become better employees The charmless citadel of Toyota City, with its iron grip on its employees The suicide cliffs of Tojinbo, patrolled by a man fighting to save the desperate The desolation of Fukushima in the aftermath of the tsunamiAnd yet, as exotic and foreign as their stories might appear to an outsiders eyes, the human experience shared by the interviewees remains powerfully universal.
