I would have thought any vestiges of the Japanese Empire, in this case the "Rising Sun" flag, would be in disuse, even forbidden.

It seems to be used as the naval ensign.

If you look closer at the edges of the flag in the picture (and the position of the sun, dead centre in the flag), and at the examples in your link, it's actually the Ground Self Defence Forces flag.

Yeah, you're right.

Had to look twice to see that! tounge2.gif

I don't want to go off topic here, BUT nener.gif I live in Japan and I can tell you that the Japanese Empire is alive and well. Most people here have no idea at all what happened in WW2.

Off topic but sadly correct. Their school curriculum does not highlight the many attrocities committed by their troops (ie. Nanking, brutality towards POWs, etc). Never has and probably never will.

It's robin's cousin peter I'm more worried about. But in general, it's probably the tights with the puffy outfit. It just make not sense! tounge2.gif

1 question...

What's the name of this type of camouflage pattern??? Has anyone found some of these sets at online surplus stores?

On my holiday to Austria we accidentally ran into a show-off of the Austrian army in Vienna

I made some pictures I wanna share with u  

It was really crowded, so not the best angles for pictures, but ok.

Here's a Finnish MP (that would be me) in Utti Jaeger Regiment in the beginning of a week of guarding.
