One by one, women take the microphone near the crowded Hachiko crossing in Tokyo's Shibuya shopping district on a hot and humid weekday, denouncing the pacifist Constitution, blasting China's "recklessness" and mocking the South Korean flag.
"The Japanese Constitution that cannot protect our children's future is more dangerous than nuclear power," states a banner held by members of the self-styled "patriotic women's group" Hanadokei, which sponsored the event.
Angered by demands from China and South Korea that Japan apologize again for wartime misdeeds, and mistrustful of mainstream media and politicians, ultraconservative housewives, mothers and working women are speaking out.
