Welcome to the Japanese elevator. Our man in Japan Slicerace has you locked down on the Tokyo tip. Goin up! What do we have here? It’s a no spitting sign. Something seem strange about it to you? It’s printed sideways! And not only that, it’s hung with the lettering pretty much horizontal and the bulk of the info ending where the sign above it ends. Veddy nice. Veddy pleasing to the eyes.

Bonus! A couple other pics of signs in that same elevator. If you didn’t know, our man in Japan is Slicerace; a Minnesota native doing a pretty important science internship in Japan through the University of Minnesota. He’s there taking pics, too! For you!

Keep your eyes open for the Tokyo-trodding scientist SLICERACE.
