Peace

I was wondering why Japanese girls invariably flash a peace sign in every photo, and there's a story that it all goes back to Janet Lynn's fall in the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo. Here's a version of it.

Even some Americans pick these little nuances up fairly fast.

Oh the Peace Sign goes back further than that. Gen McArthur started it when he flashed the two fingered-sign during a conference whereby he promised Peace to Japan during the war. It was picked up instantly from there.
