- xandrius 2y agoI have unlocked understanding Japanese and it blew my mind how pervasive advertisements are. Most foreign people would just gloss over them but even most temples (say in Kyoto) have the names of companies which donated money plastered all over the place. Even the famous tori gates at inari have cool looking Japanese text which basically says "Applebees", "Yamato Metal Industries", and so on.
