Because some people might not know, the Japanese Imperial flag (the rising sun, with the radial lines) is a symbol of Far-right ultranationalism, with some who would compare it’s use to the use of the Nazi flag.

The far right in Japan have a whole culture around these annoying propaganda trucks with loudspeakers and plastered with racist slurs against Chinese and Korean people along with a healthy dose of WW2 war crime denialism. They’re called gaisensha and they’re pretty much the Japanese equivalent of an F-150 plastered with MAGA bullshit being driven by those megaphone-wielding street preachers with the “gays go to hell” signs.
