The Rising Sun origin is not World War 2 and is the epitome of spirituality and love.
Don't let weak people let one part of history designate a meaning of the rising sun haha. The rising sun represents Amaterasu the SUN/LIGHT goddess of the world and the Japanese people. She is the mother of their race and the real Jesus. Same with Freya/Frigg/Sol in Germanic/English culture ect. The SUN is feminine and the MOON masculine in our cultures as the moon is hunter/protector/warrior and guide in the night/darkness and SUN is life giving/nourish/mother ect. The Japanese and the Nazis used symbols like SS runes as " Light bringers " yes. Also the modern religions are worse in comparison because they actively say the WHOLE world will convert to their culture /religion. Christianity and Islam saying they want to spread there culture to the whole world is a act of war. Does not matter if it's done in a non-volent these days as teaching and trying to spread you out teachings to children and change a culture is the same thing. The Japanese thought they were bringing light upon asia and would create a better world of peace and beauty after the war ect with the Japanese as the ruling class/elite. You see the only reason anyone is offended is because their EGO is hurt. People should not care about what others say but why do they? It's because their EGO and self-worth is threatened but guess what ? That's a you problem and nobody else's. I have a rising sun tattoo on my back. It's originally a Uchiha fan fire clan symbol from Naruto but added 8 sun rays on the back. The actual Japanese imperial war one was 16 rays but really doesn't matter as the rising sun is a tribute to the mother goddess called the SUN!!
