The 100 yen shop sign

09.19.05 | Comment?

I had misgivings about posting this picture. I don`t like furthering the myth that the Japanese are a funny race to be mocked. On the other hand I almost killed mysef laughing when I first saw this sign. I`m a hypocrite and I admit it.

It`s a sign for a 100 yen shop meaning that everything in it costs only 100 yen (which is 50p or around 1 dollar.) Fuku (pronounced Fookoo) means well-being/happiness.
