Bring in the Clowns

In the more than two years since the nuclear meltdown, nearly all of my focus has been on documenting what is happening in Fukushima; and although I was aware of the weekly anti-nuclear demonstrations being held in Tokyo, I had never documented one.

Yesterday, I photographed the anti-nuclear rally held in Tokyo.

There was a strong police presence at the rally.
 
 

And this is my favourite photograph from yesterday:
