farnz Posted August 9, 2015 Share #63 Posted August 9, 2015 We came across this sign at Nijo Castle in Kyoto. To this day I have no idea what is meant... My guess is that it translates as "No graffiti". I must add that I didn't notice any indiscriminate graffiti (tagging) in Tokyo or Kyoto, which enhances my impression that, to their immense credit, Japanese youth is far more respectful of its elders and its environment than its western cousins generally are. Pete. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christoph_d Posted August 10, 2015 Share #66 Posted August 10, 2015 While waiting for Ritsuko's opinion, on the true meaning of the sign in my previous post, perhaps you could explain the following mystery to me. I photographed the lady in the attached picture near our restaurant. It was hot, so I can fully appreciate that she sprinkles the water on the road to bind the dust. What I do not understand is the function of the roller in her hand... Welcome, dear visitor!

Also in Shintoism sprinkling water around the entrance of a restaurant is done as a sign of gratitude to the customers. However, no idea why she is carrying the roller. Maybe possibly one of those sticky rollers for picking up dust from objects such as cushions or the bench by the door?
