Mr. Inubushi, a city council member from Ota-ku, called his friend after visiting the exhibition. He said repeatedly, "China's persecution of Falun Gong is very cruel! Very cruel!" Mr. Inubushi invited another city council member to visit the exhibition.
A company president from Kitakyushu got a flyer about the exhibition at a train station, and he really wanted to see it. Despite his tight schedule, he managed to go and was quite moved. He said, "Just as my instinct told me, they are great artworks!" He signed the guest book and bought a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
Three copies of Zhuan Falun were sold on the first day of the exhibition. Two sixth graders carefully studied all the artworks and photos about the persecution. They asked, "Is it true those who do bad things will go to hell?" They said, "We would like to read Zhuan Falun." A Falun Gong practitioner loaned them two copies of Zhuan Falun and a copy of Falun Gong. One week later they had finished reading the book. Their mothers also read it.
One elderly lady followed the music of Pudu to the exhibition. She said the music was beautiful and wanted to get a CD. After visiting the exhibition, she bought a copy of Zhuan Falun. A week later, she came and said, "Zhuan Falun is a great book." She had read half of it. She encouraged the practitioners to continue their work.
Mr. Hiroyo, an architect, was very touched by the artworks, and he said that everyone should see it. He put a link to the exhibition on his blog and made a special trip to the exhibition to tell the guide that any news of future exhibitions can be linked from his blog. He later went for the third time to borrow a copy of Zhuan Falun.
September 20 was senior citizens day. A family of three visited the exhibition. The elderly man in the family came in a wheelchair but carefully studied each piece of artwork. He told the guide, "I didn't know such things were happening in China!" Before they left, the man insisted donating 1000 yen to the exhibition to show his support.
