Hey, I've seen it a time ago as an illustration for a book, "UN Geek En Japon" by Hector Garcia. He is a blogger, who works for Twitter Japan, living since some time ago in Japan and is going to publish his second book about Japan.
May you like his blog www.kirainet.com . There is a icon on the top wich says, "Eng", so you can read in English.
