A well known variant of the traditional Japanese sun disc design is the sun disc with 16 red rays, which was historically used by Japan's military, particularly the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was first adopted as the naval ensign on October 7, 1889 and was used until the end of World War II. It was re-adopted on June 30, 1954 and is now used again as Japan's naval ensign. This Ensign may have a negative connotation to people who fought against Japan in the Second World War.
