Bus station ad
My parents came to see us off at the bus station. I found many languages
here. You can see many advertisements while you wait for the bus at the
station. However, I was surprised by the doctors’ office advertisements. So
I thought this might be a cultural thing because I do not see any doctors
office advertisements at bus stops in the US. The advertisements in this
bus stop were for gynecology, surgery, urology, orthopedic surgery,
neurology, psychiatry and internal medicine. Others included signs for
alcohol, flowers, banks, and movie tickets. I do not know why Japanese
people put doctors’ office advertisements in the bus stop. Maybe the
language in the sign is good to help us remember, especially while we have
time to read it (waiting for the bus). I learned that doctors’ office and
alcohol advertizing rule are changing now. The advertizing can add more
information. The funeral and wedding signs were done with shuji
(calligraphy). However, if these signs use print style, I may feel a little
bored and ignore the sign.
