One Man Metal Worker
Iidabashi, Tokyo Japan

Although we always imagine Tokyo to be the land of high-tech skyscrapers and mega-corporations. But the hidden face of Tokyo is the mass of small factories, often one-man ventures. This man had his factory set up in the Iidabashi area of Tokyo, near Waseda University and some very high-class restaurants. The area used to have a lot more business, but it has really declined with the recession and loss of discretionary income.
