#i am completely willing to play my stupid foreigner card

If I ever do an original comic, I’m going to include a Japanese character who generally wears traditional clothes, and I’m going to close their kimono the wrong way in every single panel it’s shown in, and continuously go ‘dammit, oops, sorry, I can’t believe I keep doing this, I’m such a stupid gajin’ every time someone points it out… right up until it’s revealed that this character has been a ghost the whole time. Because the reason the way you close your kimono is so important is that one way is for living people… and the other is for the dead and funerary rites.
