Biking around Takenotsuka, Adachi-ku today I spotted an interesting sign:
“The return of Our Lord Jesus Christ is near – The Bible”
This marks the first Christian sign I’ve seen in Tokyo, though I think that’s just because I don’t get around that much. The sign is posted on the outer wall of a house next to a Zebra pen distributor. There were no other indications that the inhabitants were Christians.
See my earlier post for more info on what these signs are all about.
It’s a typo.
The sign should read, “The return of our one and only God Iesu Matayoshi is near.”
Well of course it is. He returns every time there’s an election.
I see these out in my neighborhood, but you have to get a bit away from train stations and into areas with more vegetable fields to find them in any real numbers.
I kept seeing Romanian flags all over Tokyo… Blue, Red and Yellow. Turns out that’s the Soka Gakai flag.
