  Homeless people in Japan first started to draw widespread attention in the mid-1990s, as the collapse of the Bubble Economy brought increasing numbers of blue tents and shacks along riverbanks and in large urban parks.
  
  In 2002 the government passed the Homeless Self-Reliance Support Law, with a ten-year statute of limitations that means it will expire in 2012. An array of new institutions has been created, transforming the socioeconomic environment for homeless people in Japan.
