Oh, Colin1. You can read Katakana letters

The "Hu Mu Na" means "Don't step."

Hu Mu is 'step'. Na is 'don't'.

The Na is used like follows -
Yu Ku Na = Don't go.
Ku Ru Na = Don't come.
Su Ru Na = Don't do.

Thank you

Hmm curious
why is it written in the gaijin kana?
On one wing, it must read backwards...

Katakana is easy to read.
It is good for warning purpose.

We tend to think the symmetrical lettering is beautiful to see.

Translation of the image
"ecuas ayamaY
puhctek otamoT
Yamaya"
