Vintage Tokyo subway manner posters.

My favorite of the ones I saw in Tokyo was a takeoff on the Kaguya-Hime legend, in which a poor bamboo cutter finds a tiny girl in a stalk of bamboo and takes her home to his wife, and she grows up to be a princess from the moon.

The ad shows a beautiful young woman gabbing on her cell phone while an old bamboo cutter and his wife look on, annoyed, holding their hands over their ears. The message?
"Even if it's a call from the moon, don't answer it!"

One wishes they could be plastered up all over the New York subways, though it doesn't translate cross-culturally. I hear that the subway stations are going to be getting cell service in the next few years. I may snap.
