Photographer documents drunk salarymen passed

The sight of “Salarymen” people drunk on the train and city streets after a night of drinking with the co-workers can act as a symbol of welcome to anyone who is about to arrive, which is a nice treat. Hoping for a rosier atmosphere for corporate culture. Which is famous in Japan. Pacheco remembered that he was stunned to see such sights in the Shibuya, Shinabashee and Ikebukuro entertainment districts of Tokyo and that the travelers of that time had not paid any attention to them. To achieve a better society, he took advice from a Japanese friend who told him that gold outside is “a special style of people who live on the streets.”

Documentary film on simply titled “Salaryman.”

Inspired by his imagination, which sought to make Japan’s infamous long-term prayers and self-indulgent thoughts that they were no different, 36-year-old Pacheco made a documentary film based on the title “Salarymen”. Before reaching Japan a year ago, people had never heard the word “salarymen”. In his opinion, this verse was very important for the society of the workers who had toiled hard in the corporation to guarantee employment every day till the present day. Pacheco soon discovered that there are people living in every corner of the country’s towns and cities, and they always wear the same dark coloured suit, shorts and socks, they go out for their work at about the same time every day and at night they go out to roads to drink alcohol. And enjoy the company of co-workers and high officials.

What did Pacheco do?

For her, they were like “an army of men clothed in suits.” If you think about why veterans drink alcohol without thinking, you will understand that this is the only way they can relieve stress due to tiring working hours. Pacheco said, “It looked like a murder scene.” “What kind of a corporate murder?”. Pacheco started drawing pictures of the people he found sleeping on the banks, and whenever he came across someone, he would circle them with a piece of white chalk. Later she came up with the idea of building a pyramid based on the welfare of veterans to make them rethink the meaning of their work.

Pacheco talked to people who were wearing suits in the city, pubs and trains. She was completely dependent on a dating app. During the day, the people who are seen to be having serious nature are the ones who open up more in front of the camera.

What happened with Pacheco?

However, ultimately her visa was not granted and she had to give up his job and rent. A friend who worked in Japan advised the disappointed Pacheco to give Japan a chance. This was his introduction to the world of Salarymen. She spent five years taking interviews of veterans and decided to make a film on this subject as a way of documenting his life. Pacheco did not want to portray Japan as a good society from the perspective of an outsider.
