The Tolerance in "Spoon & Tamago"

I recently came across this blog post on the prestigious Japanese blog "Spoon & Tamago".

The post is about the first Tolerance Poster Show in Tokyo, Japan, and talks about the importance of this kind of show in raising awareness of tolerance and equality.

"Curated by Aya Komboo and Matthew Waldman, the exhibition seeks to raise awareness for all forms of diversity, from gender to LGBTQ, while also acknowledging Japan’s inaction and lack of awareness when it comes to equality. Japan consistently ranks low when it comes to inclusivity and diversity, especially compared to other developed nations."
