Why does Japan fly rising sun flags on its warships when visiting the US?

It’s the flag of Imperial Japan, not Japan’s current national flag. It’s banned by FIFA and some other sports organizations because of association with Imperial Japan’s military and war crimes. Also might be insulting to the USA because it was the flag they used during the Pearl Harbor attack.

Because that's the naval ensign. The sunburst version has never been the flag of Japan, it's the version they put on ships and military installation to make it more obvious that it's not a white flag.

have to make clear that it's not a white flag in stormy weather should a military engagement occur. the rising sun not only confers that, it predates WW1 as a military flag for the country.

Being American can still mean you are some SEA monkey diaspora or seething chang or gook with some generational trauma. Your average American barely even thinks about countries let along some random country's naval ensign. Even the gooks that are the largest eternal seethers about the rising sun used to not give two shits about it and would regularly conduct naval exercises with Japan flying it. Every bit of modern outrage about the flag started when some gook used seeing it as an excuse to get out of hot water after doing a monkey gesture at Japanese fans at a soccer game. Even though the flag was never spotted in the crowd it worked, so it became the defacto go-to scape goat for gooks.
>South Korea’s campaign against the Rising Sun Flag began in earnest in 2011. In an association football match against Japan, South Korean footballer Ki Sung-yueng was accused of making a racist gesture, sparking outrage in Japan. Ki responded that he had intended to highlight the racism he had experienced at Celtic F.C. and that his "heart shed tears" after he saw the Rising Sun Flag at the match.[35][36] On the other hand, many in Japan insist that the Rising Sun Flag was not in the stadium.[35][37] For this reason, there is a widespread view in Japan that Ki Sung-yueng used the excuse of having seen the Rising Sun Flag to justify his racist gesture.
Americans hardly give a shit about what some foreign navy (especially one of the largest regional allies) is doing that doesn't affect them and the thing that sparked all modern outrage happened at a sporting event that Americans don't give a shit about. That's why no one gives a shit. You are a chang or gook until skin and funs are posted.

>Don’t forget the Bataan death march.
Japan's PoW camps in the Philippines were headed by a Korean and most of the brutal actions were done by gooks taking out their autistic rage from being treated as guard dogs in the IJA.
>In his memoirs, Colonel Eugene C. Jacobs wrote during the Bataan Death March, "Korean guards were the most abusive. The Japs didn't trust them in battle, so used them as service troops; the Koreans were anxious to get blood on their bayonets."
>Korean guards were sent to the remote jungles of Burma, where Lt. Col. William A. (Bill) Henderson wrote some guards overlooking construction of Burma Railway "were moronic and at times almost bestial in treatment of prisoners." The highest-ranking Korean prosecuted was Lieutenant General Hong Sa-ik, who commanded all Japanese prisoner-of-war camps in the Philippines.

I've flown onto a Japanese ship from Pearl Harbor (took off from Ford Island) and smoked a cigarette with JMSDF sailors inside the ship. Here's the (somewhat annoyed) U.S. Navy public affairs officer assigned to babysit our crew of reporters talking to her Japanese counterpart.

They still love that flag, they are still imperialist.
They would still be colonial and seize Indonesia, Korea, Philippines, etc. if they could.
It doesn't matter who the indigenous of any land are, they think anything could be added to Japan.
If being indigenous mattered to the Japanese their country wouldn't even exist, it'd decolonize from the Yayois and become the Ainu country.
