For example, three-digit phone numbers. 110 for the police, 117 for weather forecasts, 171 for disaster message dial... These are three-digit phone numbers that you might want to use in emergencies but could forget in a panic, made easy to understand at a glance in a single illustration. For example, ages. Two-character kanji that represent ages, derived from the Analects. Shigaku (志学) for age 15, Jiritsu (而立) for age 30, Fuwaku (不惑) for age 40... These are things you might not use daily but are good to know as part of your education, designed with building signs as motifs.
