Midweek weirdness

Who woulda thunk there was weird shit in Japan?




At the 100 yen store. Body stickers. Swastika body stickers. For little girls to decorate themselves with. Little neo-nazi Japanese children.

And yes, I am aware that the swastika, when facing this way is an appropriate religious symbol in Japan and the shinto religion, as are the yin and yang symbols that also appear in the pack, but dammit it is weird to see a swastika in a store. they are also all over maps here, symbolizing shrines. Can't wait to go to Kyoto, map of that place should look like the American History X seating chart.



And then we have my absolute favorite thing about Japan so far. This is a flashcard for the letter "R" for one of my kids' classes. I call him the sexy rabbit. He will seduce you with his R-ness. Look at his eyes, his devil may care attitude, his come hither look. The way his legs are spread to display his little bunny. The fact that he is wearing a collar without a shirt. Rraaaarrr. Oh yeah, he is ready for you to learn all about the letter R. ALL about it.



God, I can't stop looking at it. He is just so. damned. sexy!
