Summary[edit] Description: English: A warning sign that stands next to the Yodo River in Osaka Prefecture in Japan, saying "まむしに注意" ("mamushi ni chuui") ("Be careful of mamushi"). The mamushi is a venomous pit viper, causing 2000–3000 snake bites every year in Japan and killing around 10 people per year. Flowering cherry blossom trees and the river itself can be seen behind the sign. The rest of the sign reads "淀川工事事務所" (yodogawa kouji jimusho)" ("Yodo River Works Office", a river authority that is part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism). 日本語: まむしに注意。淀川工事事務所.
