A square white flag, with a centred black Manji-Buddhist swastika. So, what characteristics make it specifically a Manji-Buddhist swastika? So, how is a Buddhist swastika different from, say, a Hindu or Jain Swastika, from swastikas in general?
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 29 April 2014

Manji Buddhist swastika is not special but popular family crest in Japan. Buddhist swastika was transmitted to Japan from India thru China and the swastika is Sanskrit words widely used in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. The shape is all same.

In Asia the swastika is generally "left-handed": tourist maps indicating Buddhist sites showed this. The Nazis used a "right-handed" one.
