Although there has been interference from the Chinese Embassy, the long prepared "Journey of Falun Dafa" photo exhibition opened at 1:00pm on July 6 at Sumida Riverside Exhibition Center in Tokyo. Some local media participated in the opening ceremony after attending the press conference in the morning.

In the corner of the exhibition hall, videotapes of "Falun Gong: The Real Story" and "The Human Rights Violations of Falun Gong" were being played continuously. Some people in the audience, after watching the pictures and videotapes carefully, not only signed the guest book, but also signed the petition for "SOS! Urgent: Rescue The Falun Gong Practitioners Persecuted In China," and helped position themselves for a better future. The exhibition will end next Thursday.
