Signs and packaging

Another early morning walk and today's theme is signage. Since travelling to Japan in the late 90's there is now far more english in their signage. I would always get lost in the late 90's walking the streets. It was not until I came across a metro did I get my bearings. Today there is english everywhere. Some of it well written, some of it not.





















































































































































This coffee / tea sign makes me think of a tombstone. I guess if you eat too many donuts it might come in handy.


This bus advert is so creative for spring. Love the use of Tokyo images in the shape of the butterflies




























































Its always amazing to see what florists (florist link) do with plants and flowers. Who would have thought of taking an Arne Jacobson chair out to the garden :)

Tokyo Smokers







Tokyo is filled with smokers who, politely smoke in designated smoking areas indoors and out.

Cycling in Tokyo









Speedy walk this morning just after dawn, with many "salary men" feverishly making their way to work. Today's theme is bikes, biking and pedal power.
