Please read the New Yorker's article on swastika!

"Nazi Did Not Invent the Swastika!”

- Swastika has been used as a peaceful symbol for over 2,000 years in many parts of the world -


It is a great news for ME!  ...

Ms. Anna Russell was kind enough to join my book talk on "The Buddhist Swastika and Hitler's Cross" and book signing on July 30 in Queens, NY. She interviewed me and those who attended the talk.  I am grateful that the New Yorker has covered my swastika dialogue project on the new issue (August 21, 2017).

Here is a link to the article "The History of a Controversial Symbol" 


I hope that this small article will get more attentions, encourage people to read the book and begin a dialogue at different levels.  I am planning to have more talks at different places to bring awareness about the swastika.  No more ignorance!  Let's talk and begin our conversation.

Here is my 'swastika' poem.

Soon or later, the truth will come!
Wiping out, covering up, and
Attempting to make the symbol negative,
Such actions may create more illusion.
Teaching and revealing the true fact
Is essential to really deal with any issues.
Keep our eyes and mind open!
All we need is courage to face the truth. (by TK Nakagaki)


Peace,

T.K.
