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
Maciamo, in regards to Germany, that is very true. Except, after WWI, the monarchy was abolished. A completely new government was ushered in. Same with the Nazis in 1935 and with the Second West German Republic after WWII. During Reunification, Germany was reproclaimed.
Nonetheless, a break with the past government does not mean a new flag has to be used. For example: Turkey. Turkey changed its government in 1923 and retained the old Ottoman flag.
Voted "Don't give a damn...".
I really don't care about national symbols in general, but if the Japanese government wants to show that it broke with the warmongering past, they probably should consider changing the flag. Would give them some credibility among the countries they invaded before.

Well, perhaps we should ask the Armenians how they feel about this.Turkey changed its government in 1923 and retained the old Ottoman flag.
