One early iteration had more noted Japanese characters incorporated. While City Clouds are used from small stickers, t-shirts, to large wall murals, the intention for this iteration was for an office wall.
While we loved the characters as passengers on the bullet train, the big lizard creature, and the Great Wave of Kanagawa, ultimately, with consultation with our legal department, we thought to err on the side of safety. We would not want our first office in a new country to be met with legal controversy. The lizard’s tail transformed into another Japanese icon.
