On November 11th, Japan did not participate in the Jeju International Armed Forces Ceremony due to the diary issue. Haken Creutz of the Nazi Germany is prohibited by law, but why is it still in use?

The official use was in May 1870, after the Meiji Restoration, when Japan established an army for the emperor and set it as the official flag of the army. After 19 years, it changed shape a bit and was used as naval base and military base.

Japan gave the meaning of spreading the emperor 's excellence to the world in the diary, and carried out the invasion and suicide with the flag and the control of the Chosun, causing Qing, Russia, and the Pacific War.

So it was called a war crime, and after Japan lost the Second World War, it disappeared, but in less than 10 years it was rebuilt as a naval ship with the creation of the Self - Defense Forces. The reason why the same crime base is used is that it began with the so-called "Tokyo Trial", which judged war crimes.

[Hosaka Yusei / Sejong University Professor of Oceanic Humanitarian College: It was a different way to Germany. Germany has worked to completely eliminate Nazi Germany. In Japan, however, the A-level war criminals have begun to be released, and the complete liquidation has not been accomplished since the beginning of the war (Hirohito).]

It is not a coincidence that frequent exposures after the ruling of Abe have been common. The Abe regime is a regime that claims that the aggression war was not an aggression, but as an ordinary rule, denies the concept of a war criminal itself. In addition, it was a deep-seated traditional pattern.

[It 's just a story that has been put together to justify use. It was only after the army was established in 1870 that it spread widely in Japan.]

In Korea, when the criticism against the diary was overturned, a ban on the symbolism of militarism was initiated in the political circle.

[Professor Yang, Ki-ho / Professor of Japanese Language at Sungkonghoe University: I think it is important to make an environment where we can get cooperation based on accurate comparison of Wookil and Haken Creutzes, and cool and objective observation.]

It is a painful past and a current injury.
