This is the first time that I ever posted to this group, and prolly never will again, however, I had made this a while back, and now that I know that there are people like yall who are actaully into ASCII art, a lost art form, I feel, lost from it's heyday on BBSs, when it took a bit of brains to access something on line and modems sped along at an amazing 2400 bps, but I was still puttering along at 300. Anyway, I got way off subject there, so, here ya go, an ASCII repsesentation of a Shinto spirit ward. It reads, "akuryou taisan", or "evil spirit, begone".
