TweetDude, that's one country I want to visit for sure. I have the utmost respect for their culture. The whole premise of the Samurai is awesome. Honor, integrity, discipline, respect, self-less, etc. By far they are the most respectable warriors in history. IMO

TweetAre you there on business or pleasure? Are you of Asian descent? Sorry for all the questions, I am just fascinated with Asian culture. Please keep taking pics and posting them, save names of the best places you visit. I am looking to plan a trip when I get out of college, during my break before I go back to college. Thanks for sharing.

TweetDude, your answer had me lol for seriously 3 min.

but

If you really want to know what the Kamikase wore

You must go to Yasukuni shrine where you can find replicas of what those boys wore before they died.

Here is is.

TweetActually, I do remember a few things from school from time to time. I remember hearing Kamakaze pilots wore helmets because it was believed the helmet would stop the fear from escaping through their mind. As funny as that sounds, I believe it to be true? It is! Circle gets a square.

TweetHowever, it does make you wonder a few things. Like why do they sterilize the persons arm with alcohol before they give a lethal injection? Does it really matter if they get an infection?

Actually they wore the headband that I just posted plus a flight helmet designed for warmth (not crash test protection lol). The only difference is that I have occasionally seen the rising sun style in some old photos and my photo is simpler style. The one with the red stripes comming out from the center is rising sun style..

Turbo, I own my own business in Japan. I work hard, don`t make enough and still pay more taxes than I care to but I love it here. I`m happy to keep posting pics. If you want to take a tour, pm me and I`ll give you the lo-down.
