My mom has this souvenir from Japan and doesnt remember which side is up... 🤦
feedum_sneedson, It’s definitely the right way up.
nicerdicer2, I think the photo shows the picture in the correct direction. If not, well, it happens to the best…
PotatoesFall, Loool I will use this the next time I want to bash abstract art
CluckN, Flip it this is the wrong side of the page
PotatoesFall, lmao
parpol, I am terrible at reading handwritten kanji, but that red stamp on the signature, however, is without a doubt the right orientation.
Rentlar, (edited ) Generally when you have “dots” like the ones you see on the top, the thinner side of the brush stroke starts at the top. (道)
Raamah, 
Right side up.
PotatoesFall, Thanks! Is that the same kanji? they look so different.
Raamah, My wife is from Osaka, Japan. She read it as that kanji, so I’m trusting her 😆
Edit: This page has an image of the same kanji (Michi) that looks more like the one posted. www.towofu.net/soft/e-kanji.htm
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks, That’s the one I thought of as well. Additionally, the signature is correct in this orientation.
PotatoesFall, Oh haha then I’m sure its right!
Klear, Voting for 90° clockwise to spite that other guy.
PotatoesFall, you show him.
astraeus, 
I voted for the other guy, but now I’m conflicted and just decided to vote for you too even though I know the other guy is technically correct
Klear, That averages to not rotating it at all, which seems to be correct.
Ageroth, Can I vote for rotate 90° counter-clockwise? I know it’s objectively wrong, but I also think it looks the nicest.
PotatoesFall, I’m tempted to tell her this is the answer just for shits and giggles
Pretzilla, Vote here for upside down
Pretzilla, Vote here for right side up
turtlepower, It is definitely right-side up in the pic. I can’t read it, but I can recognize the signature and hanko as being right-side up.
PotatoesFall, thanks!
