  • Picketers gathered in front of the main gate of the Chisso Minamata plant. There were rectifying towers, buildings of the gas division with a large nameboard of the plant, and a tent carrying the words “Shin-Nihon Chisso Labor Union”.
  • The present scenery around the main gate of Chisso Minamata plant. There seems to be the sign of “JNC”, the name of the company established under the Act on Special Measures Concerning Relief for Victims of Minamata Disease and Solution to the Problem of Minamata Disease.
