Before going to Japan I never even considered that there could be different sign language languages… In my ignorance I just assumed that there was just one sign language for all people. There are actually hundreds of different sign languages around the world. Here is a clip I shot while in Tokyo at a gospel choir outreach.
Anyways, I recently came across this YouTube page of the Japanese bible translated into sign language. From what I can tell, the complete books of Ruth and Jonah have been translated while the book of Genesis is a work in progress. The Japan Evangelical Association of the Deaf (日本ろう福音協会) is the organization making the videos which can be viewed at their YouTube channel here.
The following are videos of the book of Jonah.
