I discovered the artist Feebee via some prints at a store I tweeted about. I guess you could buy them via Rakuten, but it's cheaper at the store by a bit. The following is Feebee's interpretation of Raijin.

EDIT: Reader info in the comments negates my theories coming up on the next item...
Also next to that store that sells the print, I found an image that ties into my last post, which was made three eternities ago. It is not nearly as profound as the coins from that post, but I think it may be making the 天+口+む thing I think I see vertically into 呑む (nomu, drink).
Up next is an awesomely stupid smoking ad that I've seen recently. Nice shorts, bud.
この味!This taste

The taste of manflesh. I doubt this guy really smokes.

Hi. I'm afraid that it's not "む", but it's "宝". I guess "天宝" is the name of this restaurant. However, I think it would be more interesting if it was "む" !
ReplyDeleteThanks, I just couldn't see it until you said that. Now are there any 口+宝 kanji?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, no... there's no kanji like that. I just found a restaurant in Okinawa which has the same logo. Are they multiple restaurant? http://img02.ti-da.net/usr/umairamen/CIMG0770.JPG
ReplyDeleteBTW, your posts are interesting! You made me pay more attention to my surroundings:D
nice find! I guess the coin motif means nothing... how odd :D
ReplyDeleteThat smoking ad!!! Gaaaaah! I see it everytime I'm in the konbini and I just can't help sniggering. bahaha
