About Japanese Typography

Japanese Typography. Get yours at flagrantdisregard.com/flickr

Tasty examples of Japanese-language logotypes, fonts, signage, etc.

The Guidelines:
This group is about Japanese typography, not written Japanese. Of course this line is really blurry, but becomes clearer if you try to imagine what will be interesting to the rest of the group.

Post photos with unique typographic compositions or letterforms. Bonus points if the type is well photographed and/or one of the main focal points of the photo.

If you post something so common it can be seen in any store, on any street corner, or in any bookstore, the photo better be a fresh view of the subject. A good rule of thumb would be 'If this was in my native language, would I still find it interesting?'

I will try to stay as liberal as possible, but WILL delete photos that don't fit the bill, so please no yawners!
