Life is full of contradictions, some Japanese shops also are.

I’ve seen this kind of mixture many times in shops around Harajuku & Shimokitazawa in Tokyo and around America Mura in Osaka.

    The one thing I can’t stand is people that wear the shirts with Che Guevara’s face on them because they have NO idea who he is or what he’s done, they think its just a fashion piece.

    Actually – just to inform you. Those “Nazi” symbols you see – well, they’re not actually nazi symbols. They’re ancient buddist symbols of peace. On the other hand, the one with the cross symbol over it, is most likely representing a nazi symbol.

    There a chance the nazi symbol w/ a slash is referring to the actual nazis. The one that isnt, that would the symbol for peace, before the nazis corrupted it.

    Either way….it still gives a mixed message.
