FIXES

Laminated A4 signs affixed with tape proclaim night use of the park prohibited, and encourage people to call the police emergency line if they see anyone suspicious.

The signs are ambiguously official, being layed out in generic Excel style and signed with a simple ‘Akishima City’ or ‘Akishima City Park Authority’ – they look like they could have been made by anyone. I removed one as a test, and it was replaced promptly. When I placed my own sign (as part of the kokonohanashi project) it was promptly removed. So it appears the signs are official, or at least part of a dedicated campaign.

Take a clothes rack, decorate the telescoping poles with red and yellow electrical tape. Then design (in Excel), print and laminate some promotional posters and affix them to the top rung with more electrical tape. Stabilize the whole thing with four full PET bottles of water secured with duct tape to the base.
