Yes, I still have issues with the Japanese, and that Toho emblem always puts me in mind for the imminent appearance of Godzilla or Rodan. But recently I beheld it in a very different context - setting off the animated feature COLORFUL.

Colorful (now on video)
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
Right up there with Leo the Lion and the 20th-Century Fox logo (never altered yet to "21st-Century Fox," probably because there isn't enough money) is the distinctive emblem of Japan's Toho Studio. You know, a bluish-translucent starburst-sort of thing, that I do believe represents in the abstract the artful beauty of Japan's favorite flower, the chrysanthemum. Either that or a visual representation of the neural shock that's the last thing that flashed through the brains of Allied POWs when the honorable Imperial Japanese camp commander cut off their heads with honorable clan samurai sword.
