Same rotten root
The funniest yearly event* here in Kanto, Tokyo’s mega-sprawl, is the May Day march of the unions and disaffected. Unlike workers’ May Day parades in other countries, NOTHING fun ever happens here in Japan—no riots, no firebombs, and nobody is ever arrested, meh.
Marchers carrying papier-mache likenesses of Prime Minister Taro Aso, top left, and major opposition Democratic Party of Japan leader Ichiro Ozawa, top right, and a placard reading: Taro and Ichiro grow from the same [rotten] root.
