Do you have any souvenirs that are for *foreigners*?

Japanese's souvenir

Tim says:

Everything on this shelf, together, makes one souvenir? And that souvenir belongs to… “Japanese.” All Japanese people? Or a person whose name is “Japanese”?

Obviously, that’s not the intended meaning of this sign. The adjective “Japanese” already describes “souvenir”, so the ‘s isn’t needed. But an s is needed at the end, because there are many souvenirs on this shelf.

O Japanese souvenirs O Souvenirs from Japan
