It could also be a conical grass hat such as this:


...but I'm used to seeing these in pictures from China, Vietnam, etc. Maybe Kenji can let us know if such hats are worn in Japan as well.

Maybe by fishermen, like the one on the photo? But probably your first impression is right - it makes sense in connection with the sword.

What about the Kaze Group BTW?

Kaze, roughly translated, means "wind"...maybe their corporate logo is in there somewhere, perhaps on the right hand tower?

I was thinking maybe instead of a colourful traingular shaped sun-umbrella (defintely Japanese), on the left tower, it might be a triangular shaped grass hat (not-so-Japanese, perhaps).

Kenjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, where are you????

Now I begin to see manga-like faces on the Towers. This is like so totally frustating. (correct Dawn's imitation?)

You nailed it.

And is that a Samurai helmet in the bottom left corner? So we learn more about the fate of the Gaijin Masamune in this next one? COOL!

-Wapitikev

on each side of the... shape, there are symetrical... shapes that look like armored shoulders, like an armored samourai..

I've circled it...its a silhouette.


At first i thought it was a fireman's helmet (9-11 and all) but then I noticed what looks like horns/wings (or whatever) on either side of the helmet...so that the silhouette looks a little like this:


...COOL!

-Wapitikev

Better Yet! Maybe its Darth Vader!

Kenjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, where are you????

I'm hereeeeeeeeeeee! milewinkgrin:

Is it a man with a white shirt on the bottom between the Towers?

I think that man is Jack...
