In Japan, decorative stone pillars can be seen in all sorts of places. These so-called Ishid\u014dhy\u014d (\u77f3\u9053\u6a19) are placed partly in the ground and contain a written text that must be read from top to bottom. This text can cover a variety of subjects. It can, for example, indicate the way or a location. Additionally, poetic texts also frequently appear.<\/p>\n
Everyone who has ever visited Japan is familiar with the engraved text on this Ishid\u014dhy\u014d, which is read as Irasshaimase (\u3044\u3089\u3063\u3057\u3083\u3044\u307e\u305b). This phrase is always spoken when someone enters a shop or restaurant, for example. Roughly translated, it means: I humbly ask you to exist (in my presence). However, it can be better translated culturally as: Welcome!.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
