With the House of Councillors election approaching on July 10, posters of the ruling and opposition parties can be seen everywhere. The typical poster has the photo of the party leader plus a catchphrase that is easy to remember. One poster is text only. Some parties prepared several types of posters depending on where the posters are being used.
[Above are the posters of eight political parties, from right to left, top row to second row; translation of their slogans below]
