Red Tsurikawa

Nowadays, Japanese car enthusiasts display Tsurikawa on their vehicles as a way to express their freedom. Tsurikawas became a sign of rebellion. Members of the Bosozoku (Japan’s anti-establishment street gangs) would steal Tsurikawas and blatantly hang them off their car’s rear bumpers; ideally dragging them on the ground until they disintegrate. This obviously was illegal and by flaunting one in public on was a subtle way of giving the middle finger to society.
