MilitaryImage:Naval Ensign of Japan.svg Image:FIAV 000001.svg Naval ensign, flown by ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (1869–1947) and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (1954–present). Flag ratio: 2:3
The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force has a sun disc design with 8 red rays extending outward, called Hachijō-Kyokujitsuki (八条旭日旗). A gold border lies partially around the edge. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which was officially adopted in 1972, has the JASDF emblem charged on a blue background. This is the only branch of service that does not envoke the national flag in their own colors.
Imperial StandardImage:Flag of the Japanese Emperor.svg The Standard of the Japanese emperor Starting in 1869, flags were created for the Japanese emperor, his wife (the empress) and for other members of the imperial family. At first, the emperor's flag was ornate, with a sun resting in the center of an artistic pattern. He had flags that were used on land, at sea and when he was in a carriage. The imperial family were also granted flags to be used at sea and while on land (one for use on foot and a carriage flag). The carriage flags were a monocolored chrysanthemum, with 16 petals, placed in the center of a monocolored background. These flags were discarded in 1889 when the emperor decided to use the chrysanthemum on a red background as his flag. With minor changes in the color shades and proportions, the flags adopted in 1889 are still being used by the imperial family. The current emperor's flag is a 16 petal chrysanthemum, colored in gold, centered on a red background with a 2:3 ratio. The empress uses the same flag, except the shape is that of a swallow tail. The crown prince and the crown princess use the same flags, except with a smaller chrysanthemum and a white border in the middle of the flags.
