Posters bearing the message "We will not tolerate Abe's politics" were raised Saturday across Japan by protesters against controversial security bills that were forced through the Lower House on Thursday.

Roughly 5,000 people rallied with the posters in front of the Diet in Tokyo, according to organizers. The nationwide gesture of protest was launched by writer Hisae Sawachi, journalist Shuntaro Torigoe and other activists.

The poster features characters originally written in a calligraphic style by haiku poet Tota Kaneko. It can be printed from multifunction photocopiers with Internet connections at convenience stores nationwide.
