TOKYO (Reuters) - One by one, women take the microphone near a crowded crossing in a popular Tokyo shopping district on a hot and humid weekday, denouncing Japan's pacifist constitution, blasting China's "recklessness" and mocking the South Korean flag.

"The Japanese constitution that cannot protect our children's future is more dangerous than nuclear power," said a banner held by members of self-styled patriotic women's group Hanadokei, which sponsored the event.
