Swastika is used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
I wonder why it'still considered "taboo" in the Western society in the information-age.
- fomine3 6y ago卍 is often used here in Japan for figure in maps meaning temple. I hope western world doesn't kill irrelevant figure. I generally don't like the thought of cultural appropriation (IMO Anyone should be able to wear kimono) but I feel that forbidding something outside western country by western people is a bad cultural appropriation.
