Patriotism is loving one’s own country more than all others; Nationalism is hating all other countries more than one’s own.

That sentiment sounds like Nationalism to me. I love America and Americana, but that doesn’t keep me from appreciating something from Japan.

I probably wouldn’t run them because I don’t know what the hell they say, but would completely get a Japanese trad guy running them because they’ve still got traditional SW styling but would presumably be a bit easier to read.

Kinda like I don’t get why so many fellows in RHD countries want to build LHD hot rods when their own vintage Fords were RHD.

 

Thanks for the clarification, Tano.

 

If Japan is copying them, Chinese character expression of such a China type is never used.
