When I was teaching in China I went with a student to a paint-your-own pottery shop. She painted a little cat and finished it off by drawing two 卍 on the ears.

When I was teaching in China I went with a student to a paint-your-own pottery shop. She painted a little cat and finished it off by drawing two 卍 on the ears. I wonder if this is part of the Chinese inheritance from India? Chinese families also commonly paint bindi dots on the foreheads of toddlers.
