Buddhist banners use both clockwise and anti-clockwise swastikas.
I thought that the nazi swastika stood on a corner rather than on
a 'flat'...
Anyway, I remember being most surprised seeing swastikas in a
Buddhist shrine room. Whatever it used to mean I'm sure it'll
be a long time (if ever) before the swastika symbol can be
'rehabilitated' from it's nazi associations.

All the best,
