Rising Sun Flag
Critic , a correspondent of the Jiji Newsletter Seoul in the 1980s, stated that the Rising Sun Flag had not been criticized until recently in South Korea. South Korea did not object to Japan's adoption of the Rising Sun Flag for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force in 1952, nor to the entry into South Korean ports Japanese warships flying the flag on a warship at the 1998 and 2008 navy fleet reviews held in South Korea.
