Edomoji
Edomoji or edo-moji (Japanese: 江戸文字; furigana: えどもじ) are Japanese lettering styles invented for advertising during the Edo period. The main styles of edomoji are chōchinmoji, found on paper lanterns outside restaurants; higemoji, used to label kakigōri and drinks like ramune and sake; kagomoji, literally "cage letters"; kakuji, a thick and rectangular seal script; kanteiryū, often used on flyers for performances such as kabuki and rakugo; and yosemoji, a mix of chōchinmoji and kanteiryū.
