  • Picketers stood along both sides of Jinnai Street where a local bus was running. A sound truck on the right was the Shiranui-go owned by the Union. Company houses for subsection chiefs and senior staff were lined up on the right side of the street. Behind them was a fire watchtower equipped with a bell to let neighbors know when a fire had broken out.
  • The present Jinnai Street is well-paved and its side strips are colored.
