Japanese crossword «Rebus is a proverb»

oh no don't tell me you're going to start doing these rebus puzzles too :(

i don't see why russians do this on a nonogram. if i wanted to play rebus puzzles i'd go find some that I don't have to solve on a nonogram puzzle first before playing them!

Great,very creative design; while individual elements could be easily seen partway through, they didn't make sense until the whole grid was solved. Thank you!
