Election campaign begins


Koike and Daruma doll Posted by Picasa

The election campaign has begun. The photo shows environmental minister Yuriko Koike, painting an eye of a papier mache Daruma doll. It is a fun tradition for good luck. If she wins a seat in the parliament, she can paint the other eye as well.

Why not send her an email about your concerns for the environment?!

If you want to know more about the election coming up on September 11, please check Asahi's editorial or BBC's excellent coverage here.
