I don't think there is any problem using the Koinoburi as a graphic. Considering how frequently the Japanese misrepresent any foreign cultural symbol that they feel could help them make money, I dont think they could have any complaint about someone else doing it, and besides, for the reasons you gave, I don't think it would be culturally insensitive anyway! Do it! Thanks! I don't think there is any problem using the Koinoburi as a graphic.
