Off TV screen. A moment in a TV debate in the 1960s on the status of Okinawa that was under the US rule at that time.

From left to right:
Someone unknown to me (could be a politician)
Yasuhiro Nakasone of the Liberal Democrats. He became Prime Minister in the 1980s.
Prof. Kei Wakaizumi (international relations)

All of them are pro-US/anti-USSR right-wingers/conservatives. On the opposite side (not shown) there were left-wingers, including Nagisa Oshima (film director).

An old political poster - when it was marginal


An old political poster - when it was marginal
Originally uploaded by nofrills.

An old political poster found on the same wall as the cinema posters, but this does not belong to the "mini museum" project, I believe. Until 1990 or so, Yurakucho area was a sort of "Speakers Corner" for nationalists, and that is why this area has so many posters like this.

I particularly find this poster weird. The message is "Ammend the Article No 9 of the Constitution, for Japan to be a real independent state." You know now it's on the agenda of our government (Shinzo Abe's government), very officially. At the national diet, debates are going on - I don't know if we really can call it "debates". Something that used to be very marginal is now very official.

* I am in no way related to them or their political agenda. This is only photography.
