A closeup of the Japanese kanji on the wall during the scene
During the awesome fight sequence between 007 and an Osato goon in You Only Live Twice, we can see two Japanese symbols on the wall. My furious Googling has led me to these two characters:
According to my two linked sites for each symbol, it translates to “big village” – an oxymoron? Or maybe a reference to the big city of Tokyo where YOLT takes place? If you know Japanese and I am mistaken or you can confirm, please feel free to comment!

Sean Connery is and always will be the best and my favorite actor to portray James Bond. My favorite James Bond movie may change periodically, but I’ll always point to Connery’s iconic introduction scene from Dr. No as the true definition of James Bond. RIP.
