Let us discuss Manji, please, as it is an important 紋.
When did you start looking at japanese maps and go all "wtf are these swastikas all over the place" and when did you start to understand they mark buddhist temples?

Picture related, as it's a Manji.

Technically, this is Buddhist culture. Japan is historically Shinto.

Also, commit suicide.

Wrong board.

Globally speaking (excluding pre- and after-Europe), Its direction (right or left) or Buddhism has little to do with it. It's been used all over the world as some sort lucky charm.

Hilter simply stole it. Nowadays, stupid westerns think they are the center of the universe and think, "OMG, manji!, that's bad, you know."

Nope, not in Australia mate. Then again, that's the only cultural sphere where it wasn't used.

I don't think I've ever looked at a japanese map and ``go all "wtf are these swastikas all over the place"'', OP.

God forbid a culture think of a symbol in the way in which they are accustomed.

Give the middle finger to a man in Zimbabwe and he'll just think you're pointing up.

This may seem like an irrelevant question, but why is it made out of Railgun screenshots?

The difference is that those people impose their view to other people.

>> No.7054911

The Railgun spammer strikes again, this time deceptively in the form of a swastimanji.

>> No.7054915

I learned about the manji from a TL note in the english edition of One Piece volume 8. On of the fishmen had a manji tattoo.

Manji is just the Nips' excuse to keep using racist symbols in their country and wash themselves of any blame.
