Translation
Tanimachi 4 Town Council Slogan

• Greetings with energy
• Greetings with a smiling face
• A town of flying greetings

Tanimachi 4 Town Council Promotion

'A town of flying greetings' is a bit strange. What they want is a town where everyone says hello and it visualizes the words 'flying about' around town. This is a great way to improve neighborhood relationships and be friendly with your community. Although this is the only sign I've seen and its pretty small, just an A4 laminated sheet of paper. If this is a message they want to communicate they should have more signs or a bigger sign.

What do you think? Do you have signs like this in your neighborhood? If so please take a picture and send them us at deathbykanji@google.com or post it in the comments.
