Protesters gathered outside the Japanese prime minister's residence in Tokyo on April 21, voicing anger over the government's decision to ease arms export rules. Demonstrators warned the move violates Japan's constitution and risks repeating the country's wartime past, with some calling it "absolutely unconstitutional" and accusing leaders of ignoring public opposition. Many stressed that Japan's post-war identity as a peace-oriented nation must be protected, not weakened.
