A district in Sapporo, Hokkaido was filled overnight with mysterious signboards designed like “eye charts” with letters that gradually shrink. A total of 35 signboards filled the neighborhood. They were displayed on the walls and doors of residences and shops around high schools, as well as on street corners, in restaurants and on campuses. All were displayed where ads are not usually allowed, with the permission and collaboration of local high schools, residents and shop owners. The messages on signboards told high schoolers about the importance of eyesight in sports and in their after-school physical activities. Each signboard had a unique message relevant to where it was displayed to boost conversation among neighboring community and among students. All were made photogenic, with humorous tone & manner, but alas, hard-to-read.
