Stylistically it looks very TR, I would have thought an Asian swastika would have some variation, though I can't see any other explanation. I certainly would not buy a front door from the same firm if it had that emblazoned on it!

That's a good way to have your fence vandalized! Strange find, good stuff!

The swastika is an ancient symbol of good luck. As previously stated, it can be seen in many forms in India and Japan. It was used as a family crest by samurai family in the Southern island of Kyushu. I have seen numerous samurai armor bearing the swastika family crest. It can also be found in various forms in the West. I have seen it in floor tiles and terra cotta building material in early 20th century buildings. This mark on the fence would have no connection to the 3rd Reich.
