Yoko, a 17-year-old runaway, photographed by Michael Rougier for LIFE magazine.
Aimless and alone, Yoko sits in a coffee shop in the late afternoon,
hoping a friend will come along. She often ends her long nights of clubbing sprawled
on a futon in a friend’s room. But sometimes she goes down to
the port in Yokohama to watch the ships sail off to the places she only
wishes she could go. At sunset, her “day” begins again.
