This is the winner of a poster contest in nearby Fukuoka. Hats off to the junior high school student who came up with this. It’s a very clever way of making the point and the execution is outstanding. But, perhaps unintentionally, does the poster also equate bad manners with Americans and/or foreigner culture? Note the contrast with the kimono, a symbol of traditional Japanese culture. If you are interested in this and similar issues (views of non-Japanese living in Japan), have a look at debito.org.
