i was like "weed LOL" first until i saw the kanji amd the koi. then i thought "japanese red maple" but then i saw the astronaut and thought "weeeeeed LOL". sender intent vs receiver interpretation is a classic issue in communication. there is always noise and how something like this is interpreted depends on your own background, among other things.

no but a maple leaf doesn't look like a weed leaf to me.
the same response you had to me is the same response I had to you or to anyone else who thought that it was weed.
just because it looks like something else doesn't mean that it's not what it really is, and those 90% to me are uninformed
I also understand that not everyone knows that there's such a thing as a japanese maple leaf but for those who know the difference, as to the difference between nazi symbology vs buddhist symbology, then it's not the same.
considering that the background (tatami) the koi, the japanese photographs is all pretty much context clues, im sorry that it's not common where you're from but 100% without a doubt if you ask someone at the Raf Simons flagship (both of them) in Japan and you ask for the weed shirt they will have NO idea what you're talking about.
