Would You Like A Giant Bug With Your Coffee?
I know, I know, they put it in the window because the cicada is the quintessential symbol of Japanese summer, but even prettying it up with pinkness and flowers does not disguise the fact that it’s a gigantic BUG.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
Jonelle Patrick's Only In Japan 
Oh it’s beautiful Jonelle! You should find out where they got there giant semi 🙂
Ug, I can’t spell and apparently it is very difficult to edit your own comments. Sumimasen!
I’ll ask where they got it and buy one for you as an appropriately-themed graduation present! I’d get you a porcelain worm, but they probably aren’t mentioned in quite enough haiku to warrant enshrining in clay.
