PICTURES! Let's have a look at how Chinese characters appear on signs and objects whether in China or elsewhere!
I have no idea what this says but who ever did the writing had a strong clear hand.

Phoenix
Phoenix and Dragon Yin and Yang Feng and Lung.
They go together in Chinese culture.
With it being the year of the Dragon there's been hundreds if not thousands of blogs so I'm counter balancing that with some Phoenix info!

Tangy Wisteria !
Once upon a time Wisteria was tang or thang!
The Japanese have a word KOKUN to describe characters that have a meaning in ordinary Japanese that differs greatly from the original Chinese meaning or the SinoJapanese usage.
Show a Chinese this character and they'll think of vines and canes but show a Japanese and they'll think FUJI the wisteria plant which is a vine though if they're very good at Kanji they may be remember seeing the other extended meaning in a dictionary?
