Japanese Navy destroyer flying the rising sun flag arrives in South

A Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer flying the controversial rising sun flag entered a South Korean port Monday to attend a naval drill scheduled for later this week, amid recovery ties between the two neighbors.

South Korea's acceptance of the MSDF port call in Busan despite the ship carrying the flag, viewed by critics as a symbol of Japan's wartime militarism, suggests that Seoul no longer considers it problematic.

Japan colonized the Korean Peninsula for 35 years from 1910. The Japanese Army and Navy used the flag until the end of World War II in 1945.
