Blocking the US Marines Gate with 1400 Blocks.

How amazingly a Non-violent struggle in Henoko has been a success to close 2 days a week.
People started to pile the concrete blocks in front of the gate for stopping the construction vehicles.


                        A friend from US arrived yesterday to join the Henoko sit-in.
                   We appreciate people from outside of Japan come and join this struggle.
                        We hope that more & more foreign friends come and join us.


Finally, Henoko is becoming an artistic.
We started to paint on concrete blocks.
Please come & paint a block for peace.

  picture of Miyako island's militarize plan 11 th February “The Symposium for thinking a peace & military bases at North East Asia” was held at Miyako island. 9 people from Korea visited this time.

I’d like to tell you what I saw & I felt by coming Miyako island after one year of my last visiting. Last year of January, when I came, there were no buildings at the site of Chiyoda New Japanese Defense Force’s base.

However, under the tanks, there is a soft ground which it may not be able to support

Thank you ... Governor Onaga. We will not forget your dedication to Okinawa. Okinawan governor Onaga past away on 8th Aug. He had a pancreas cancer. He was given surgery this April.
