This is the sign of post office in Japan. Surprisingly there are more than 20,000 post offices in Japan and we can see this logo mark anywhere around in this country. This mark is so popular that it is included in the Japanese character code set for computer. We use it before seven-digit figures to show that it is a postal code. Anyway in Japan now, the post office is going to change. The government is planning to divide and privatize the post office because it is too huge and has a lot of problems. Japanese post office has three major functions: postal operation, insurance operation, and banking operation. It is actually the largest logistics system, the largest security system, and the largest banking system in Japan. It has also a great national brand and old people especially trust it. I don't know exactly whether the post office should be privatized or not, but if this logo mark is vanished and the number of post offices are reduced, I would have at least a sense of loss.
