The photos of people lined side-by-side and holding boards inscribed with messages expressing solidarity, such as “Stop War in Ukraine” and “Stand With Ukraine,” can be seen on a 30-meter-long wall in an Omotesando Station underground passageway.
An office worker from the suburbs of Kyiv, said: “I hope Japanese people who see this will support Ukraine. Don’t get used to the tragic news being broadcast every day.”
