THE STORY BEHIND, "COULD YOU LEND ME A SMILE" ...
In 2022, a young man in Tokyo was found passed away in his apartment alone. He had been there for weeks. In Japan, as in other countries, this has become so common that there is a term for this. “Lonely death”.
I never forgot his story. I imagined him walking on the streets with the sounds of thousands of footsteps passing by and wondered if anyone had ever bothered to lend him a smile.
