This antagonistic situation raises a new round of discussions among Japanese people on how to deal with public places.

According to the agreement signed between the local government and Nike last September, Nike will establish a skateboard facility in the lawn area of the park and pay an annual cost of $200 thousand to publicize the company's products.

The park will continue to be owned and managed by the local government.

But on Friday, Japanese police officers escorted officials to inspect the construction of the park forced the demolition of temporary tents that had previously covered the vagrants in the park and threw all their belongings out.

More than 30 tramps were forced to find other places to live.

The organizer said angrily, "this is just an excuse for emptying the Wanderers" and said that the use of parks should be decided by local residents and tourists.

Some demonstrators dressed in colorful costumes shouted in front of the streets of Tokyo and Nike stores in Tokyo: "do not take away our space for self expression."

For the demonstrations of the Japanese people, a spokesman for Nike's Japanese division said: "we just want to bring sports closer to people's lives through this project.

We hope to produce positive results, but what we can do now is to wait. "
