btw, what does the swastika represent here? [link]

The Senso-ji is a buddhist temple, so I think that the swastika here has the buddhist meaning of (more or less)eternity or life. In Japan the left-facing swastika is also used to indicates the location of buddhist temples on maps.

Oh okay, that's interesting. I knew it couldn't have anything to do with what a swastika is usually identified with.

I love the contrast of the warm red and the cool blue.
