Last month the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), a UNESCO advisory body, issued a “heritage alert” for Jingu Gaien. Nishikawa believes that the commercial nature of the redevelopment “breaks the promise” of keeping the Jingu Gaien as a public space. Protesters gather for a demonstration at Meiji Jingu Gaien on September 15, 2023. Work commenced at the Meiji Jingu Gaien site in March. “They need to go back to the drawing board and use a much more democratic process to decide the future of Jingu Gaien.”

[1/4] The 80th Venice Film Festival - Premiere for the film "Evil Does Not Exist" in competition - Red Carpet - Venice, Italy, September 4, 2023 - Satoshi Takata, Ryuji Kosaka, Hitoshi Omika, Ayaka Shibutani, Ryo Nishikawa, Eiko Ishibashi, Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Yoshio Kitagawa pose. Hamaguchi won an Oscar for best international film with "Drive My Car" in 2022 and took the Grand Jury Prize at the 2021 Berlin Film Festival with his romantic drama "Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy", significantly boosting his international profile. I think that's why I made this film," Hamaguchi told Reuters ahead of the screening of "Evil Does Not Exist". "Where the title came from is really me watching and observing nature," said Hamaguchi. But that's not really the message of the film and I don't think anyone watching the film will think that evil does not exist," he said.
