The Japanese flag is a pie chart of how much of Japan is in Japan.

Is this why the imperial Japanese flag had so much red outside the circle?

Well there's your problem, your insides are outside and your outsides are inside!

It's just out of frame

Hey, it's still rising, it's just like 11am.

"Why's it red then?" Uh...smog?

The Japanese flag is just a "you are here" dot for your current location.

So the Japanese empire was just an attempt to fit the rest of the solar system on their flag?

The Japanese flag is just a surrender flag that failed.
