A New Feature: Sunday Teaser!

Great news! Discovery 21 Publications will be publishing my book of Japanese signs translated into wayward English.  So as a teaser until the book is published this fall, I will be putting one sign on my blog every Sunday!  Enjoy it and please look for the book when it comes out!!

Welcome – spend money somehow

This sign implies that the shop really wants customers to spend money and they will help them do it in any way possible.  The directions to the nearest ATM are sketchy at best, but they’re there.  The sign means that the ATM is near here; it’s about 150 meters down the road.
