How To Measure Social Distance, J-Style
Those of us who’ve been under quarantine for a month have stood in enough lines by now that we’ve probably got a pretty good eye for the “six foot” (two meter) guideline, but in crowded Japan, not so much. So they’ve plastered the subways with posters giving hilariously helpful hints for judging how close not to stand to fellow commuters.
Here’s what the posters look like:
These were designed by Eisuke Tachikawa and his team at Nosigner. Thanks to SoraNews24 for collecting these excellent graphics
If you’d like to see some silly graphics with distance measures that are a bit more local, head over to J-style Social Distancing Measurements for the Rest of Us…

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!
The tuna 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite too! I wish I could think of some hilarious Western-style examples.
How many baguettes 🥖 ?
Righteous French ones, or chonky American ones? lol
I am going to be really patriotic and say the French ones 🇫🇷 😁
