Another response I got:

It's called a Tsurikawa and they're stolen from trains/subway in Japan and hung in the rear of classic j tin in defiance of the law and to demonstrate how low the vehicle is. Done properly, it should be dragging on the ground. "drift charms" are a lame adaptation derived from the original purpose

It's called a drift charm. The Japanese used actual subway hand rings to hang from their tow hooks, but that mutated into hanging curtain rings, stuffed animals, or anything else that can drag the ground.



I saw the same thing on the back of a late model Japanese 4 door sedan that was lowered and had fat tires/wheels. No idea what that is!--Dave
