Даниэлла Demetriou | Dreadlocks flailing в ветре, человек испустило свирепый выкрик по мере того как он побежал вниз с тихой майны страны к мне, угрожающе размахивая bamboo ручку в каждой руке.

Нормальн, я повернул бы и исчез бы. Но мы были обе играя роли в тренировке для демонстрантов подготовляя для саммита G8 понедельника в Хоккаидо в северной японии, и моя собственная сторона была покрына menacing революционным шарфом.

Тысячи protesters маршировали, танцевали и барабанили их дороге через улицы почти высоки обеспеченная гостиница на дистанционном озере Toya где руководители встречают.

Для много людей, фокус уже переносил от stance Гордон коричневого на изменении климата и содержания wardrobe Карла Bruni к студентам, хуторянин, членам профсоюза и анархистам пытаясь нарушить продолжения.

Япония, куда такие тренировочные лагери протеста никогда не были установлены вверх перед, принимает угрозу очень серьезно: оно раскрывало 40.000 подготовленных полиций по всей стране и будет тратой £142 миллионом на обеспеченности.

Полиции арестовывали 3 демонстрантов после сердитых scuffles, включая диск-жокея на передвижном поплавке протеста.

Protesters быть осторожным планировали их реакцию в сельском лагере в близрасположенном Tobetsu.

Программа покрывает мастерские прямые действия, обсуждения тактики протеста, законную консультативную тренировку, делать puppet, турниры футбола и встречами.

In the guise of западный protester, телеграф проинфильтрировал лагерь, который придерживается к только «политике никаких средств».

Было прогулкой 20 минут через зеленые поля подпертые туман-положенными в кожух горами и drizzly небесами. Но по мере того как шнур цветастых шатров come into взгляд, автомобиль смог также быть увиден в расстоянии, укомплектоватьнном личным составом обыкновенными толком полициями одежд держа watchful глаз на продолжениях.

Лагерь был установлен в земли бывшей школы, где flourescent знамена anti-G8 выпорхнули в прочитанных ветерке и большом знаке: «Другое село.»

Внутри шатра приема, 2 японских актуария slouched на вежливо ask for софе, hand out перечню правила и ежедневному (£7) пожертвованию Y1,500 для того чтобы помочь побежать лагерь.

Около 3/4 из protesters японск от разнообразия предпосылок, включая членов профсоюза, хуторянин, актуариев, и японского коммунистической партии.

Many of them are students, but there were plenty of older Japanese citizens as well, including Hiroshi Tsuchira, 71, a retired airport worker.

“Life is difficult for people in Japan and I have never been to march this big before but it is important for people to hear our voice,” he said. “Our future will not be good if it lies in the hands of the G8 leaders.”

Other activists came from San Francisco, London and Nantes.

They included people from charities like Oxfam and more riotous protesters from a French anarcho-syndicalist commune.

“We are protesting against a structure of capitalism that has been created by the G8 summit,” said Nakata-san, a political science student from Tokyo. “We want to create our own ideal system in this campsite community.”

Despite its anarchic credentials, the campsite offers a perfect template of Japan’s renowned organisational skills. Neat piles of placards, T-shirts and recycling bins line the entrance, while leaflets offer advice on protest etiquette.

Japanese bamboo flute music is as prominent as punk rock on the internal sound system, which also broadcasts sudden and surreal messages: “Will volunteers please help peel vegetables for dinner!” or “Rave party in the gym at 5pm!”

The gym is a vast space filled with piles of anti-G8 banners and brightly coloured protest “puppets” – including eight wooden creations on sticks emblazoned with skulls on one side and the faces of G8 leaders on the other.

And there are many meetings. After a long discussion about colour-coded washing-up bowls and whether sheets should be used with futons, the cultural differences suddenly came to light.

“Is there nothing else to talk about?” muttered Sarah, a straight-talking activist who spent two months travelling overland to Japan from London. “I’m stunned.”

Beneath the veneer of domesticity, serious training sessions are under way for the 1,000 protesters at three camps near Lake Toya.

One teaches how to avoid arrest. “It was hands on, direct and practical,” said James, a 19-year-old Cambridge undergraduate. “It’s useful for people who want to go to these protests and make an impact without getting arrested.”

From intricate diagrams of where to stand in a crowd to stunts like dressing up as clowns, the discussions are painstakingly detailed.

For protesters who need to sleep, there are tents or, for an additional fee, three neatly organised rooms, equipped with futons and blankets.

And for those too hungry to continue training on behalf of the world’s poor, there are delicious vegan meals of curry, risotto, seaweed salad and fresh fruit prepared by a “food collective” that also works around the clock to make fresh hemp bread from cannabis seeds.

Late arrivals were disappointed to learn that they had missed the last of the direct action workshops laid on over previous days. They were masterminded by Lisa Fithian, an American activist - and so fearful are the Japanese authorities over the risk of disruption to the summit that she was reportedly only allowed into the country on condition that she left before the summit had even begun.
