A dogwood blossom for Minato-ku, Tokyo.

In 1915, Japan sent cherry trees to Washington D.C., and the Americans sent dogwood trees to Japan. I heard this is where it started.

A sticker for a dog owner to show the dog is registered.

If you are interested in kanji (漢字), I reccomend this page:
portal.nifty.com/2006/04/15/c/

There you can see ”つぎへ >" at the bottom right just below a picture. Click on it nine times, they explain how the 犬 letter was born.

But after you see the 犬, basically it's all jokes. The author says "If a dog is represented in this way, how about a cat? A giraff?"

Not tinted. It was a cloudy evening but the sticker is the same the one below (in March 2006).
