Japanese ASCII art spacing issue

A Japanese ASCII art design built from symbols has no semantic content to translate, so an English version that shifts the spacing and alignment ends up misrepresenting the source image. Honestly, changing how the characters sit on the page isn't a translation at all. It's a different arrangement, and that's the whole issue here.
