As Amaterasu is my witness, this an actual screenshot of the end of the TIME Magazine online's article on Japanese government efforts to prop up the regional banking system.
"Self-injury in Japan. Photographer Kosuke Okahara locates a world of deep despair young Japanese women. Please note that this story contains some graphic imagery."
"Tossed Away "Tissues used to wipe blood lay on the floor of a young woman's home. In a 2006 study conducted in Kanagawa prefecture, 14.6% of the female high school students surveyed said they had purposely injured themselves at least once with a knife or pointed object, while 6.3% said they had done so at least 10 times."
I have to know: on clicking that link, did you indeed get treated to images of disconsolate females of Japanese ancestry?
