Furoshiki

This wrapping cloth seems to be related to Japan's war in Manchuria, China (1931-40) - note the tanks and airplanes (and the birds). Placenames are written in the language of their own country, said the sign in the Art of Wrapping exhibition, in the excellent Brighton museum.
More birds, this time a pavement in Brighton. Complete with chewing gum, unfortunately. (Don't get me started on Those People That Chew Gum...)
