Wearing the Imperial Flag

I’m going on a 2 week trip to Japan this weekend and I’m super excited! I have a sweatshirt that I’ve had for probably about 5 years now that has the Japanese word for sunset written on the front and Imagery of a sunset behind a mountain on the back. The sunset is designed like the Japanese Imperial flag but the color way is no where near related to the original flag. Do you think it would be appropriate to wear in Japan? I’m worried that there’s a negative insinuation with the term sunset and the use of the imperial flag motive. I really like the sweatshirt and I think the design is cool but I don’t want to offend anyone while I’m there. Thanks!
