I previoulsy mentioned here,that we hardly see our national flag, Hinomaru But during the Olympics, we see the national flag everyday, everywhere. Is this the same with your country? or do you see your flag every day?
Any ways, Tokyo Plastic 2 is one of the coolest web sites I have ever seen! Please click on the title and then click, click! everywhere to find things. Even thought you might not know the meaning of the Japanese, you can see some great Flash work. Thier site motif's seem to be Hinomaru and the Kokeshi doll. Hinomaru has some difficult natioanl issues and Kokeshi has a tragic background. Kokeshi is not a happy doll for wishing fortunes - many sites and shops do not mention the backgournd of Kokeshi. Tokyo Plastic may give you the creeps a little, but then when you know about Hinomaru and Kokeshi trivia, it will give you some insight into Japanese culture.
We fly our flag every day, but not every one does. Most business parks have at least 2 flags flying, one of which is the state flag.
