“I’m glad I’m Japanese” posters in Kyoto spark outrage among Japanese Twitter users soranews24.com

Every city in Japan, is, of course, Japanese, but there are few that feel more so than Kyoto.
That exalted status makes Kyoto one of the most visited cities in Japan, with both domestic and international travelers coming to experience a touch of classical Japanese elegance.
But while Kyoto’s “Japanese-ness” is a point of pride among local residents, some Twitter users feel that posters spotted in the city take the boasting too far.
Japanese Twitter user @hanenohaetashra recently shared the above snapshot.
Let’s raise the Hinomaru [Japanese flag] with pride in our hearts.”“I’ve seen this poster here and there in Kyoto,” tweeted @hanenohaetashra.
