Even though Japan is generally such an orderly country, there are many warning signs telling people how to be careful and how to behave. I found this sign at the entrance to Kita-in Temple in Kawagoe last weekend. It says to be careful of chikan (perverts) and bag snatchers – but apparently, only the ones with sharp claws. It’s good to see community minded people warning us all of local dangers.
Followers of this blog know that I like a good warning sign (here, here and here), and especially expressive hand-drawn ones at that. (I’ve cut off the bottom of the sign from the photo, but it gave advice about keeping out of the shadows at night, etc.)
