Japanese text can be written top to bottom and right to left and if you notice the text angles from the top right to the bottom left. I’m studying Japanese and kanji, so although I thought the poster was odd at first it was pretty easy to figure out once I thought about it. This might be just another way to write thing s or like the use of katakana for Japanese words just another way to get your attention.
