Home is where the art is


Japan's Shinjuku Station is apparently filled with an incredible variety of cardboard boxes that the homeless use for shelter. Many of them have been painted in a stunning variety of scenes and designs.

In February 1998, a fire swept through Shinjuku Station, destroying many of the cardboard homes. You can see even more incredible images of these cardboard houses photographed by eyedia before the fire, here.
