When I was there I was actually searching for a Japanese flag to take home. (I do that with every country I love and visited) But it was almost impossible to find a shop that sold those real flags! I asked it to a Japanese tour guide where I might find one. But she said it would be very difficult and she didn't know any places that sold them. She said something like; "The Japanese people don't really use flags anymore."
So I think even though they love their country and culture the Japanese aren't patriotic. If you're patriotic you want to be able to use the flag of your country right?
About me;
I'm not patriotic at all. I don't even love my country. I'm rather indifferent about The Netherlands. Also from what I know our culture seems to be dying and I don't really care about it. The Japanese culture is way more interesting.
