Police to use special guard box during Okinawa summit

NAHA, Japan - A policeman poses for pictures April 20 in a new ''shisa'' guard box, developed by Okinawa prefectural police to house security guards at the 2000 summit of the Group of Eight (G-8) nations in Okinawa Prefecture on July 21-23. The roof of the box has been designed in imitation of the red tile roof seen on traditional Okinawa houses and bears the motif of a ''shisa'' -- a lion believed in local folklore to fend off evil spirits.
