See and not believe: A
club called Unfair located in Osaka, the third largest city in Japan, was designed "in a Nazi spirit".
Swastikas adorned the logo of the business, the walls and the bottles of champagne, the staff and waiters dressed in SS uniforms (and were even proudly displayed on Twitter), and a truck drove through the streets of the city’s entertainment district and advertised the place.
It is important to emphasize that the swastika displayed at the club is the symbol adopted by the Nazis in the 1920s, and not the Buddhist swastika which faces in the opposite direction and has been in use for thousands of years.

It is difficult to know what really went through the minds of those responsible, but it is not inconceivable that this is simply ignorance of its name and a lack of awareness among young Asians of the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis.
There is a high chance that the organizers thought it looked cool and underground and not beyond that, but it only indicates the failures of information and education in Japan, which was part of the Axis countries in World War II and collaborated with Nazi Germany.

However, this blatant lack of awareness does not exist only in Japan, but in other Asian countries: about three years ago, one of the members of the successful South Korean boy band BTS was photographed wearing a hat with a Nazi logo.
The waves of criticism forced the band's management to apologize, claiming that this was a mistake made in good faith.
For now, any attempt to get a response from club managers has come to naught.
There is no answer to the phone number of the business, and moreover - it seems that its official website has been removed from the storage server quite negligently and without prior notice.
Someone there probably recovered, realized the magnitude of the default and went underground.
