SignWriting in Japan

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
August 10, 2005

Hello Midori and Mark!
I have a vague memory that Mark Penner told me about the Japanese  
SignWriting List, but I hadn't remembered it until you mentioned  
it...That is great that you have a List. Perhaps at some point, we  
should add a way to join the Japanese List, on our SignWriting in  
Japan section on our web site, so that new visitors who know Japanese  
can contact you to join? Just a thought. If you would like that, send  
me the contact information and I will post it for you...Val ;-)

PS. When you write a sign, like Tokyo, be sure to add it to your  
Japanese SignPuddle on the web, because most people on this List are  
not on the Japanese List, so we have not seen the sign for Tokyo  
posted! I know I haven't at least!
