To me, it just means an even more shining rising sun.
And to me, that rising sun symbolizes a god which I worship and adore.
So, no.
By the way, I love the Nazi flag as well. And am glad I could wear it in Japan legally.
Yes, and the flag should be officially banned in public places too, as was the Nazi flag in Germany
Yes, it is the equivalent of the Nazi swastika flag and is unacceptable in today's world
Yes, because it reminds Japan's neighbours of its past atrocities
Probably. It would be so easy to choose another naval ensign, even the "hinomaru" flag.
No, there is no valid reason to change Japan's naval flag.
No, it is a cultural symbol of Japan('s military)
No it stands for Japan's eternal Empire of the Rising Sun. Banzai !
No idea
Don't give a damn about the Japanese flags

Good for you.Originally Posted by Ukonkivi
OK, NEEEEEEXT!!!!
I am very often, validly criticized for my “over the top” theories, and so be it!
But the 16-pointed Japanese flag is so ancient, so historic, my vote is emphatically, do not let it go!
Too much of all of our ancestries are thrown away for one feeble reason or another.
I say the 16-pointed star represented at one time, the Goddess Ishtar, whose sacred numbers included 15 and 16. More modern versions of Ishtar were the evolved “Venus” whose sacred number was 5.

“Ishtar — the goddess of love, protection, and war; she is armed with a quiver and a bow, and rides a lion
Symbol: an 8- or 16-pointed star; Venus and Sirius
Sacred Number: 15"
Venus/Ishtar of course rises before sunrise, with the rising sun, then escorts the sun at sunset, into the night. Chee Pan, Chipango, Shippan, Japan... Origin of the Spirits, Land where the sun first rises, Land of the Rising Sun!
If you play the ancient sacred mathematics games, the sacred number 16 was the sum total of the prime numbers 1, 3,5, and 7, which for Pythagoras and others carried much more meaning in those days, when mathematics was pure Godliness.
Our New Mexico flag is a derivation, I believe, of this 16 rays of light.
Of course, the purists of the world can now scream...”But you have no proof”, and I concede, dispatch me now, please!
Save the rising sun. It is my heritage too!
Administrative question... which image hosting services are the other posters using? It is better than mine.
