Agreed, it really is astounding the rising sun isn't more universally recognized as an offensive symbol. For those that don't know why, this blog summarizes some of the main points: http://www.thewandereronline.com/20...-the-japanese-rising-sun-flag-by-dongwoo-kim/
Please don't get the stupid Japan kit with the rising sun.
Honestly, I'm Korean and my grandfather wouldn't buy any Japanese products because his family went through the Japanese occupation. Obviously, I don't go to the same extent, but the Rising Sun being displayed proudly without so many people understanding it's harsh realities on so many civilians is an injustice. My two cents.
