  1. Come on Taro.
    You must explain the Japanese meaning/context of the cruise missile dog.
    Japanese trains always have posters admonishing the running salaryman who push everyone like rabid weasels and drive into the trains as the doors are closing….

    I like this Big Foot vs Buddhist Nun poster warning salarymen not to kick their onto the subway.

    Do not rush onto the train (April 1979)

    big foot subway tokyo

    This poster advises passengers not to rush onto the train at the last moment. The text (かけこみ禁寺) is a play on the words かけこみ禁止 (kakekomi kinshi – “don't rush onto the train”) and かけこみ寺 (Kakekomi-dera – Kakekomi temple), which has long been known as a sanctuary for married women fleeing their husbands.
