Sign for Tokyo

[midori at A.TSUKUBA-TECH.AC.JP]

Hello, Ingvild,

I'm Masahiko's colleague, Midori.

I think the sign for east is one straight up movement, both hands at the same time. But for Tokyo, the movement should be repeated, namely, two straight up movement. Should we write it with three arrows, with the middle one reverse direction, or two parallel arrows in the same direction?

Sorry for misspelling your name in the previous mail.

Midori
