A Sign in Japan...

My wife just returned from a business trip to Japan. While doing some sight-seeing between meetings, she came across this sign which caught her eye. With the magic of the iphone, she was able to capture this picture and shared it with the rest of our family.
The statement on the sign, with its somewhat inaccurate grammar, seems simplistic at first glance. And yet, it talks to the natural beauty of one's face which we often forget, instead choosing to rely on external superficial additives and synthetic enhancements. I think the sign is also a reminder of the huge importance of our smile in our daily communication and interaction with others - a simple yet profound gesture which builds rapport, breaks down barriers, and brings people closer together...
