Japan Glimpses
Lunch time texting in Tokyo.
Hankos on display in a store window. These are used for signatures in Japan. It's a small stamp and it's pushed on an ink pad and then serves as a signature. The names are in kangi - ideograms. When Big Frank lived in Japan he had one of these made with a miniature version of his own signature - no kangi for Big Frank (I wonder where there is now)!
The raven is not a statue or a stuffed one - it's alive and it flew up and posed for Big Frank. Lots of ravens in Tokyo. This one's got talent - real poise!
