Japanese Road Sign 118-2-C 0290 T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the distinctive design of a Japanese prefectural road sign, specifically the 118-2-C 0290 type. The design faithfully recreates the official signage standards used throughout Japan.
Visual Elements
The central element is a hexagon shape, the standard form for prefectural road number signs. Within this hexagon, the route number "0290" is prominently displayed. The typography adheres to the specific font used on these signs.
The color scheme is key to the design's authenticity. The numbers and the border are rendered in crisp white, providing high contrast against the deep blue background of the hexagon. If the sign was including a direction indicator, the arrow would appear in pale yellow, however this design does not include a direction indicator. This color palette is a critical element, signifying the road's classification and its function as a route marker.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a specific prefectural road, number 290, within the road network of a Japanese prefecture. The sign itself symbolizes the well-organized infrastructure and route-finding system within Japan, reflecting a focus on clear and efficient communication for travelers.
The presence of this sign signifies that you are on, or approaching, a specific road managed by the prefectural government. The design evokes a sense of travel, exploration, and the unique visual language found throughout Japan.
