Japanese drama《Tokyo poor woman》original novel

In the mid-1990s, Nakamura Junhiko was approached by a strange man while drinking in an izakaya, and he accidentally got a job opportunity to write articles for men's adult magazines.With little experience in article writing, he began his career interviewing and writing articles about Japanese customs industry practitioners.

With the complete disappearance of men's adult magazines, meeting female practitioners in the genre industry, listening to them tell their stories, and compiling interviews have become the only things that Nakamura Atsuhiko continues to this day.

Over the past 20 years, Nakamura Junhiko has interviewed more than 1,300 women.At the suggestion of an editor of Toyo Keizai Shimbun, Nakamura Junhiko discovered that these women who had to work in the custom industry reflected Japan's huge social problems: male dominance, workplace bullying, and targeting of single mothers.In Japan, where the welfare system for the disabled is incomplete, the informal employment system is prevalent, and the pressure to repay scholarships is huge, women will fall into the abyss of poverty if they make one wrong move.

Even if she had a good family background, good education, graduated from a higher education institution such as the University of Tokyo, or even been re-employed by a large company, she would still be in this situation.Since April 2016, Nakamura Junhiko began to serialize interviews with poor women in Toyo Keizai Shimbun. This is also the starting point of the book "Poor Women in Tokyo".
