I passed the May Day parade in Tokyo today and took a few photos. Union members are demanding higher minimum wage and more stable employment to fight the income gap and the problem of the so-called “working poor” who are struggling with low wages. I was also impressed by the banners and floats aiming to protect Article 9 of Japan’s Peace Constitution, that renounces war.
42,000 people participated in the events in Tokyo today.
