In the photo below, there are posters of candidates. They are representing candidates' names and faces with their own slogans. An election coming, you can see these posters on boards anywhere. Most candidates make a poster to help people know about them more and to gain votes.
This photo is very very old because the man in the upper left-hand poster has been arrested for fraud(maybe?) a few years ago.
↑This is my neighbor's house. The son, who is same age as me, used to tell me that his family is supporting 自民党（the Liberal Democratic Party）. They have always such posters on their house's wall. As you see, it is Aso-san now. Some years ago, it was Koizumi-san. People supporting a party get posters from an office of the party. Then, they are willing to put them on their house and show their will to support the person.

Political posters are interesting in Japan. Your first photo (from 2 years ago or so?) is of a sign board that is placed in every neighborhood during the official election period. Candidates then put their own poster on it. In this way people know all who are running for various offices. It might be interesting if you provide some more information or a link about Horie.
Is your friend interested in politics? Why does his family support the LDP? Usually when one sees posters during off-election times they belong to either the Japanese Communist Party or the New Komeito (the party associated with Soka Gakkai).
I think there is a lot of potential for an interesting visual anthro project with Japanese political posters. Posters have various layouts and the candidates have various facial expressions and gestures. It would be interesting to see if the posters of winning candidates had anything in common.
