Some folks wonder why the Japanese are always flashing peace signs in photographs. They aren’t. They learned to do that from watching American soldiers throwing the V for victory when taking pictures. But the Japanese didn’t understand what the gesture meant, they just copied it. Nobody has the heart to tell them now…
But technically when the Japanese do it now, it isn’t a peace or victory sign- it means something else to them
work in progress is good to continue, while the alternate version maybe just too bright and of course you need to put an impressive background for her. The sketch… Ahooyy…
Yeah, she obviously needs a proper background but what?
Maybe a corner of the city that facilitates the youthful atmosphere, or the Japanese castle, or the Hiroshima monument?
These hand gestures are always tricky, but it’s funny that it can mean both peace and victory. I only know that the inverted one is offensive in some cultures. Anyway, very cute work!
Yes, that’s how you flip folks off in the UK
I really like this one, sketch etc. Great one!
She’s fun, in a sassy kinda way
Cannot comment on pics but nice outfit.
Man, that new policy is just screwing everybody…
Yep and the admin/moderator/whatever are silent.
Their communications protocol is confusing from this end
At first I thought the “Double V” was in reference to a cup size. Great pictures Alex.
I don’t even want to know what that looks like…
