  • A sound truck parked in front of a Japanese style hotel which the second union used as an office and accommodation. One of the banners on the truck reads “Liberal and Democratic” and another highlights “New Labor Union”. A drugstore can be seen on the right.
  • The drugstore still remains. The house at the left also seems to remain unchanged in structure.
