This is a photo-and-video rich offering of what's been happening in Japan over the past week-plus - which has been dubbed Japan's Hydrangea Revolution, culminating yesterday, last night and today (Japan time) with demonstrations in Tokyo at the PM's office/residence. Turnout was so huge that Tokyo police blocked off the subways and trapped thousands of citizens underground so they couldn't make it to the area.

Reports are that more than 150,000 people in Tokyo who DID manage to make it into the street to express their strong opposition to restart of the Ohi reactors last weekend and plans for restarting more endangered nuclear plants in the earthquake-prone nation. Protests are occurring in Osaka, Shibuya and other cities throughout the country. Further links to coverage are below…
