I am in Tokyo on a business trip and went out for a morning walk through the back streets of Harajuku with a friend today. I enjoy looking for interesting sign boards on my walks, and today found some especially interesting subjects to share. The first image is of a sign in a vacant lot for a specialized photo studio, catering to women who want to be made up temporarily like a maiko girl for portraits; the second is of a sign at the entrance to Togo Shrine, explaining in a rather confusion mixture of German and fractured English just what is not allowed inside; the third is a rather odd juxtaposition, and unintended commentary on attitudes to sex in Japan.
