On the other hand, Japan as a true empire lasted only from the late 19th century with its defeat of the Russian navy and ended in the 1990s as Japan's economic dominance began to wane.
It appears today that Japan has no future, except through some kind of union with China. Only a decade ago I could have proposed a union of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Taiwan as a kind of "Oriental Union." Today it seems that Taiwan's clout is soon about to evaporate, and no such union can possibly counter China's increasing dominance in economy and geopolitics.
As I was thinking over this interesting historical development, I have conceived this proposed design for the new flag and emblem of Japan, if it were to become annexed into China.

This was a quick project just to show my conception of the design. The purple, the colour of Japanese aubergine, is one of the traditional colours of Japanese fabrics. The design of the emblem reflects common Japanese themes of the ocean waves, Mt. Fuji and a cherry blossom, while also conforming to the design standard of such emblems that include five stars of five points, evoking the national flag of China that features five stars, to symbolize the region's ties to the People's Republic of China. Overall design of the emblem is also a cross between classical Japanese heraldic design (the mon) and a composition of a typical socialist national emblem.
This is intended to be a parody. No further political statement is implied.
