Japan and its neighbours. |
This bar menu in Shinjuku, Tokyo lists food and drink in both angular katakana - for loanwords or to make signs easier to read - and the curvy hiragana script - for native vocabulary. Top of the list, in katakana, is レミーマルタン - Remii Marutan 'Remy Martin' brandy; bottom, in hiragana, is あんみつ anmitsu - a jelly to finish a meal. Photo © by Sonny Santos, used by permission. |
Japan's capital, Tokyo, is a city of packed streets, neon logos and the ancient tucked away alongside the modern. Photo © by Sonny Santos, used by permission. | |
