- The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is Shift_JIS art.
Shift_JIS art is artwork created from characters within the Shift_JIS character set, a superset of ASCII. Naturally there are many similarities between Shift_JIS artwork and ASCII art.
Shift_JIS has become very popular on web-based bulletin boards, notably 2ch.net and has even made its way into mainstream media and commercial advertising in Japan.
Within the Japanese community, Shift_JIS art is sometimes abbreviated as SJIS art but is most commonly referred to as "AA" meaning ASCII art, although it rarely ever makes use of any of the 95 printable characters within the ASCII standard.
