 اليابانيون يقاومون ارتفاع أسعار العقارات بـشقق الكبسولات

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO FEATURE:nnKorean photographer, Won Kim has captured the essence of people living in a tiny, hidden Tokyo hotel in his latest series, Enclosed: Living Small.nnThe hotel rooms do not have enough headroom to stand up straight and are separated by unfinished plywood, with no windows and doors ؟ only a curtain at the entrance for privacy.nnnnKim stayed at the hotel in 2013, which is when he got the idea for starting this project. It costs around $12 to stay at the hotel and lots of local Japanese people and foreign students take up residence there for around a year.nnnn؟The atmosphere among those residents is pretty warm and they are friendly with each other. That؟s how I soon became friends with them and they are not unhappy. I would love to live there for a while if I could. What I personally find interesting was that the messier the room was, the cosier I felt inside؟ says Kim.nnWhen asked how Kim managed to get a lot of the residents on board to talk about their experience in the hotel and to allow him to photograph their rooms, he explained that he promised each resident a 15-minute shoulder massage.nn** Bigger sized images available if needed **
تشهد اليابان ارتفاعاً متصاعداً في أسعار العقارات؛ يجعل من الصعب جدًّا على فئة كبيرة من السكان الحصول على سكن مريح بسعر معقول؛ ففي المتوسط يسعى أي زوجين عاديين في طوكيو لشراء شقة بمساحة 70 متراً مربعاً، بتكلفة تبلغ 45.000.000 ين (456.000 دولار)؛ الأمر الذي جعل المنازل الصغيرة تنتشر بكثرة.
وفي السنوات الأخيرة بدأت تظهر الشقق الصغيرة جدًّا، التي تناسب العزاب، وباتت تعرف بـ "الكبسولات"؛ إذ لا تتجاوز مساحة الواحدة منها مساحة الغرفة المتوسطة.
المصور "وون كيم" تجول في بعض هذه الغرف، وعاد بهذه المجموعة الفوتوغرافية:
