KAWASAKI – The Kawasaki Municipal Government plans to file a vandalism complaint with the police after finding more than three dozen instances of anti-Korean graffiti defacing park benches, bridges and other structures.
Local authorities spotted the offending graffiti at 26 locations from Wednesday to Friday, days after hundreds of protesters blocked an event allegedly targeted at ethnic Korean residents of Japan, preventing it from taking place.
The Kawasaki Municipal Government has covered the offensive scrawl with blue plastic sheets, officials said Friday.
A city cleaner first found the graffiti, which was written with an oil-based marker, on a bench in a square in Takatsu Ward.
