Dog litter signs

[theBrokenMonkey]

I have a confession to make. I like dog litter signs. There are few around where I live and now I wonder, are these national designs that can be seen everywhere in Japan or are there lots and lots of different designs depending on the place. It seems here the designs vary a little bit from shi to shi.
If anyone has pictures of signs I would really like to see them. Here are most of those I have spotted recently.

Nice one. Very different from the ones I have seen where I live.

You might have some luck asking the people on 4chan as well. That is, if you don't mind seeing a bunch of non-worksafe pictures on the way. I'll check in later!

We seriously need signs like those in my country...we're all into bringing dogs as accessories, we think it's cool and all. But when it comes to dog poo, we think it's other people's problem. We kind of don't understand the concept of "meiwaku".

Great signs! It really makes signs in other countries so boring. Question is if it isn't a bit too cute sometimes... as with most things in Japan.

The signs in Sweden are more angry and agressive than the japanese ones. Though not many people seem to care. There is actually streets in my hometown that I always avoid because of the amont of droppings... =(

I actually think it is not so much the signs but the genral attitude of the people here in Japan that keep the streets, at least where I live, pretty free from dog litter...

Just found these on my HD. Taken last year in Obata, Gunma Prefecture. In fact, there were more signs than dogs and visitors combined.

I agree. Though I think that taking a bottle of water with you to rinse the dog wee from the pavement is a step too far!

The signs all say Kanra, not Obata.

Our neighbourhood association has asked dog owners to do exactly that, so we carry that bottle with us every time we walk the dog. Not a bad idea, especially in summer.

I thought that Kanra was part of Obata, but perhaps my memory fails me.

Update: actually, Obata is the old name of Kanra-machi. They advertise it as Castle Town Obata.

I like that people do it. I don't want to step in urine and track it all over creation.

I visited Tel Aviv a while back and I loved the city but I could never live there in part due to the massive amounts of dog feces littering the sidewalks. Disgusting.
