Today I saw a genuine kanji tattoo on a Japanese person. Unfortunately I
didn't take my camera with me, and I couldn't even use the mobile phone
camera because my mobile phone is being repaired. On one shoulder he had
some kind of mandala mark with various kanjis around it like "water". On the
other shoulder he had what looked like "USMC" in gothic letters in a circle,
which I think is an abbreviation for "US Marine Corps". Don't ask me why he
had that, any more than why he had the kanji tattoos, but I was standing
close enough to him to hear him talking to his wife, and he was a native
Japanese.

Yakuza?


Incidentally the last time I didn't take my camera with me was when I went
to the park in Kukizaki and my children met some karate teacher. It was the
funniest thing I've seen recently, with my daughter going through the karate
moves, and especially when my son Danny started attacking the karate teacher
and trying to pick a fight with him.

I don't doubt you. I forgot to bring my camera when I say the Loch Ness
Monster. It had a shower cap on and scrubbing its back with a brush to
get the barnacles clean ;-)
