Thanks for your reply. I suppose I should have been more specific in my first post. All I meant to say was that the Japanese swastikas on the map you posted are not the same as the swastikas that are on the Nazi flag. The ends point in different directions.
I said what I did because in my Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary (admittedly an old one) under the word "Swastika", the only image is that of the Nazi swastika. There is none of the Japanese or far eastern swastika.
I guess the answer to all this is that both symbols can be called swastikas, just like Yugos and Mercedes can both be called automobiles.
