 Print Article: Tokyo keeps wary eye on white-robed doomsday cult
The cult members, clad entirely in white in what they say is protection from electromagnetic waves that made their 69-year-old leader gravely ill, have been camped on a narrow mountain road in Gifu prefecture, about 274 kilometres west of Tokyo since early on Saturday morning.
Television footage showed cult members wrapping trees in white cloth for further protection, while shadows cast on other sheets shrouding the 18 vans in the caravan showed one member being hit lightly on the head with a stick by another in what appeared to be some bizarre ritual.
A Kiyomi police spokesman said that, while 250 police had been dispatched to the site, their main job was traffic control.

Gifu -- About 50 members of the Panawave Laboratory, a cult known for its white attire, entered Nagano Prefecture on Tuesday after camping out on a mountain road in the village of Kiyomi in Gifu Prefecture, but in a bizarre development issued a statement about Japan's celebrity seal Tama-chan.

For the second successive year a course record accompanied their success, as the team won in 2:13:17, improving on their previous course record — set last year - of 2:13:38 for this six-stage marathon distance relay.
However, there was competitive excitement as during the final stage Kiyomi Ogawa of the Kyocera team caught Mitsui’s anchor woman Miki Oyama, only for the latter to dig in once more and prevail at the end.
The irony is that the same two runners — Miki Oyama of Mitsui-Sumitomo and Kiyomi Ogawa of Kyocera - who battled out last year in the anchor leg were left to battle it out again in the final stage.

While political logic seemed to dictate that fielding two LDP candidates in the same constituency would be a vote-splitter, the high-risk policy spectacularly paid off and the liquidators took out some of the premier's most powerful LDP critics.
Convicted bribetaker and former LDP deputy chief cabinet secretary Muneo Suzuki won big in Hokkaido, former LDP construction minister and jailbird Kishiro Nakamura took the Ibaraki number seven seat and ex-con Kiyomi Tsujimoto grabbed the Osaka number 10 district for the Social Democratic Party.
With an election cast comprising assassins, ex-cons, rebels and a plot involving large-scale political slaughter orchestrated by a powerful mafia-like don, it is hardly surprising Japanese voters flocked to the polls.
