Signs
I recently bought a book of photos of kawaii mascots. These are some of the pictures on the book in which mascots appear on signs. The one that I liked the most is the one with the Godzilla statue smiling and holding a sign with a picture of the Keishicho mascot (Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department) [...]
This hand painted mural makes you want to install smoke detectors at home. Even when representing an emergency situation, Japanese people have a good sense of humor, the painting is full of kawaii details; notice that the moon can be seen… and even a frog!
Somebody with a good sense of humor designed this sign that is located on a street in Kyoto. It warns drivers that around the area there are “Lots of beautiful ladies” (美人多し) and because of that they should “Stop for a while” (一旦停止).

This example of Japanglish caught my attention because of its own irony:
Other Japanglish examples:
Fuculty
This vehicle is done to weaken an air conditioner
The post title sounds really intense… but that is exactly what this sign in Aoyama area in Tokyo says. The literal translation would be something like “Please don’t defecate or vomit in this area”.

The little man falling down the stairs says in the word balloon: “Waaaah! I am falling down!”
Josecrem found this fabulous sign and took this picture:
“Bring your dog’s shit back to home”
These are two similar signs I’ve found in Japan:
In some of the most crowed areas in Tokyo and Osaka sometimes you can find yourself in a “human lane”. It is nice to have everyone walking in order but in summer it can be hard
In which lane am I walking?
In Shinjuku there are even some sidewalks with rules concerning pedestrian traffic. [...]
Where can I draw?
There are not many graffitis in Japanese cities, this is the only sign prohibiting it I’ve seen until now and curiously it was at the entrance of a US military base in Okinawa.
