Station: The Drawing and meaning of The Kanji Characters!

After all I had a good time the other day taking pictures inside Shimada JR Station away from the wind and the cold as proven by the Ghost Ikebana Picture and a third one!

Station is “Eki” in Japanese and the Kanji character is “駅”

The left half of “駅” is “馬” for “Horse”!
The designer had a great idea to use a neck tie for the second vertical line!
The second part of “駅” is “尺” which is measurement unit used in old times. In short “駅/eki” means a post or station where horses could be exchanged!

Footnote: This is a poster demonstrating the work of police to keep stations safe from criminality!
