After a run of wet weather, Tokyo on Saturday embraced a sunny day, which, however, did not warm the city as a large scale of anti-Korean march chilled and astonished Shibuya, one of the most popular shopping and fashion centers in Tokyo.

An estimated six hundreds of right-wingers rallied at about 3 p. m. in a park, where all entrances were blocked by over a hundred of riot police. They took to the streets later, holding various banners that said, for instance, "to break off relations with South Korea", "Koreans who live in Japan breed crimes" and " eliminate all Koreans".

The march was organized by an ultra-right racist group known as Citizens against Special Privilege of Korean living in Japan or " Zaitokukai", which also planned to launch similar anti-Korean demonstrations in Osaka and Hokkaido on Saturday.

The right-wingers shouted loudly and used amplifiers, making their aggressive slogans can be heard in other blocks. The din of the noise shocked passerby and customers who both showed curiosity and fear in their eyes.

Many of the right-wingers wore sunglasses and mouth-muffle with downed hats so that make themselves beyond recognition. A demonstrator, wearing sunglasses that hides his face, however, ironically, held a banner which said "tell your real name, Korean! "

Two men that believed to be Koreans hit back by giving the protesters "one finger salute" and were controlled and took away later by police as their counter fire triggered rage from the right-wingers and caused a small chaos.

A shopping guide on the street told Xinhua that he hopes people can live together in peace, but added that he was unconcerned with the anti-foreignism march, partially reflecting Japanese people's common attitude toward such rising racialism.

"I'm astonished. I do not think what they did is right," a senior British man who experienced the World War II told Xinhua, " They are extreme rightists."

Since February, the Zaitokukai, which opposes Koreans that have long-term residents in Japan, has organized such offensive demonstration nearly every weekend in Shinjuku's Shin-Okubo, which was a famous "Korean Town" in Tokyo.

Tokyo Shimbun, a Japanese neutral newspaper, said in a report on June 8 that if such demonstration was held in the United States or Europe, they will be considered as crime of stirring up racism and racial discrimination, adding Japan, however, has no law to punish and restrain such racism behaviors.

On Friday, an association of civic groups against racial discrimination also launched a gathering here in an effort to call for legislation to ban hate speeches and movements.

The organization earlier sent questionnaires on hate speech to all national lawmakers but less than 10 percent responded, according to local media.

"It showed there was a lack of interest among national parliamentarians. We can't say they were serving the role of lawmaker," Yasuko Morooka, a visiting researcher at the Asia- Pacific Study Center of Osaka University of Economics and Law, was quoted by Japan's Kyodo News as saying.

An anti-racialism Japanese told Xinhua on June 16 after a Zaitokukai protest launch in Shin-Okubo that the racism now risen in Japan was probably rooted in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's right deviation.
