The above poster is one of the monthly series for the Tokyo Metro subways aimed at cajoling the so-called ‘rude’ Japanese public to have better train manners. In previous months, posters reminded riders to:
The official start of the Japanese Vomiting Season
Please party on the train!
“Not torture eyeballs on jostling trains“,
— “Please do it like a Moose
— “DON’T SWIM IN FRONT OF THE TRAINS
—“Please no umbrella golf on the platform

    Sadly, the “Train Manner” (sic) posters may end with March’s edition. :-(
