    That Japnees part is the only one I can read but it certainly makes me wonder if the other words have such big errors in them too. Hilarious stuff.

    Such an odd sign in an odd place! And it seems quite weatherbeaten too! Great shot!

    Okay, so I have to ask... are the hairdressers Japanese or are they Indians who specialise in Japanese-style hair dos? ;b

    didnt think a japanese salon will have a poster such as this..

  16. LowellOctober 3, 2009 at 5:08 PM

    Heh, heh. From the looks of their sign, I'm not sure I'd want them cutting my hair - it might turn out all ragged!

    Have a great weekend!

    The sign maker needs spell-check.

    the banner doesn't looks cool for a Japanese salon.

  22. Alice AudreyOctober 3, 2009 at 8:21 PM

    Cool! Considering how tattered the sign is, I bet the hair "derssers" aren't new anymore.

    They should have used 'spell check'! Great photo.

    I wonder how a Japanese hairdresser differs from a non-Japanese hairdresser? ;-)

    Very cool treatment of the theme.

  38. OmiaeOctober 4, 2009 at 8:49 AM

    Awesome take, I love the essence of the shot. It's interesting to note that the "signboard" was actually over another signboard. And the fact that it's such a huge contrast with what one might think of a Japanese salon. :)

    I never realized how close the Marathi "alphabet" is to the Hindi one. They're virtually the same it looks like!

    Love this photo, the torn banner makes a compelling image -- even more than a whole one would have.

    Sorry to have been away for so long, but sometimes life intrudes. Hopefully I'll catch up now!
