110th well-known poster for the Olympics Call for cooperation from foreigners February 3 21:28
In an effort to prevent terrorism for the Tokyo Olympics, which is now less than six months old, the Metropolitan Police Department has launched a new initiative to call on foreign visitors to cooperate.
In the Tokyo Olympics, which will be held in July, many foreign tourists will visit, but the issue is that the telephone number "110" for reporting to the police has not penetrated.
To prevent terrorism and other incidents, the Metropolitan Police Department has created a new poster and posted it at stations and police boxes from March 3 so that foreign visitors can be notified.
The posters feature ukiyo-e prints of Sharaku, which is also famous overseas, where Kabuki actors glare and call for reports when they feel something strange in English, Chinese, or Korean.
At Shibuya Station, we immediately put it on the station premises and distributed flyers to users, and we also showed it on the large-scale vision around the scramble intersection and called for cooperation.
The 110 call means that English and Chinese are available 24 hours a day.
"I look forward to the Olympics, and I would like to strengthen the call to contact the police as soon as I see a suspicious person or object, including foreigners," said Masaki Shigehisa, Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.
