It's like a german putting the Nazi sign on his car... Does no one know what it means?



The rising-sun flag has been the symbol of Japan's militaristic imperialism, and still serves to be the symbol of Japanese Self-Defense Forces. However, there are recent phenomena to utilize the symbol in fashion or in international sporting events although it is considered extremely offensive in countries of former Japanese imperialism as it reminds Japan's former war crimes.

it was the flag of imperial Japan. It's more like Brits putting the old royal Union flag on our cars.

Unlike the nazi insignia which was specific to a certain era and government. The imperial flag was used long before the world wars.

Love it! Can't help but think what if they're messing with their culture a bit? Maybe not.

Great episode and the car looked amazing at the end

I didn't know that about the rising sun either. I'm sure Steve king would have stopped them doing it if they thought it might be offensive to them. Japanese people appear very laid back. They don't take offence very easily and have a laugh with pretty much everything... Plus they're rebellious. They go drifting in the mountains and put stollen tram handles on their cars haha. It's just part of their style.
