木村畳店
畳
Use the rikaichan popup dictionary or your favorite reference tool with my transcription below the photo if you need help reading this sign. The shop’s name is 木村, one of the most common surnames in Japan.
As I was preparing this post just now, I discovered that the character 畳 isn’t just used for tatami mats, but is also the kanji used in the verb たたむ, meaning ‘to fold.’ As in 洗濯物を畳んだ(せんたくものをたたんだ)。I folded the laundry.

ご注意ください！！

Reading just the upper part in Japanese might have left me wondering exactly what it is that warrants the double exclamation point caution, as it simply warns folks to beware of the caterpillars in this tree.
But my friend told me that its meaning is clear to Japanese people, as it’s common knowledge here that hairy caterpillars sting, and that they can often be found in cherry trees like this one.
The museum staff have thoughtfully spelled it out in English. But what is it that’s ticked the little beasties off, when they should be merrily munching the new green leaves of spring?

I saw it in Amanohashidate, known as one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, a well deserved distinction! This shop is especially busy in summer when tourists flock there.
When we got off the train from Kyoto City, we jumped right on rental cycles and pedaled across the black pine covered sandbar that dissects the bay, seen in the first photo. It was early April and some cherry trees were still in bloom. You can learn more about this beautiful spot and some of the mythology surrounding its creation here.

The kanji character in the verb 炙る(あぶる) isn’t included in the 常用漢字(じょうようかんじ) standardized list of common kanji, but is still an often seen kanji, especially associated with grilling or searing fish and meats and other foods.
