1)Something Asians put up when they have their pictures taken. May stem from Winston Churchill flashing the Victory sign after WWII. In Japan the sign may have also become popular because of the post-WWII Allied occupation of Japan. Janet Lynn may have popularized its use in amature photographs when in the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo she fell, but still continued with a smile. Afterwards she flashed the V sign and the Japanese media eat it up. 2)A hand gesture in which the first and second fingers are raised and parted, whilst the remaining fingers are clenched. Generally considered a "Victory" sign, it can also carry connotations of "Peace" and "Defiance"
