This paper reports on a collaborative project involving the development of a kanji textbook focusing on the Japanese linguistic landscape; the project was undertaken in a course on Japanese language pedagogy. The students of the course were divided into groups of six. The students made presentations after completing the project. An analysis of questionnaire results, reaction papers, and the students' statements in class, revealed that designing activities that centered on the linguistic landscape motivated students greatly and made them aware of the difficulty faced by Japanese learners in acquiring kanji. This project work helped students to develop their compound-eye thinking abilities.
