Here are collected pictures of sign taken in Japan. They belong to everyday life and show the exotism of Asia: there are signs containing information, such as a train timetable, and signs of shop and restaurants. In these countries ideograms are used in place of letters: these graphical symbols represent an idea or a thing instead of a sound as happens in other alphabets. Ideograms are also used in China
