What Jap film has rival Japanese clans fight a sea battle against a yellow sky ?

[KL70]

Would anyone know in what film (I'm unsure if it's a live action or Japanimation film),
do rival Japanese clans fight a sea battle against a stylised red and yellow sky.

 

[epigene]

I have no idea what film or anime it is, but if the battle is a real one in Japanese history, the possibilities are:

Battle of Dan-no-ura

Itsukushima no Kassen

Or maybe:
Mongol invasion of Japan

These might give clues to finding the film/anime.

Also, please refrain from use of Jap as abbreviation of Japanese. (I'm pretty sure you mean no ill will in using it, but there are many Japanese who don't like that abbreviation.)

This is a long shot, but I remember a scene similar to what you describe in Masaki Kobayashi's Kwaidan. Might be worth checking out to see if it's the one you want.

Wanna stop with the using of the word "Jap" there sweetheart?

 

[Putrefaction]

I think he couldn't fit Japanese in the topic title.

 

[AJBryant]

Then the title needed shortening in other ways. "Looking for a Japanese film title" or "Do you recognize this film scene" or something.

Many people are using "J" for Japanese, like J-POP or J drama.
I hope the OP would follow this example...

Yeah, the abbreviation is more of a Japanese-American problem. I understand it is not considered derogatory in Australia or much of (English speaking) Asia, so I'm sure the OP didn't intend anything offensive.

As much as I am for slamming down ignorance and racism... like Epigene, I don't think this was intended in that manner at all, just out of ignorance. Just mention the racist aspect and lets move on, no need to derail everything.

While I would also assume the OP had no intent to offend, I would not be so sure that the term wouldn't be considered derogatory in Australia. During the Pacific War, it was common for the Allies to use that term for their enemy, and Australia played a major role amongst those Allies. (The Japanese had advanced as far as New Guinea, and Australia had very real fears of a Japanese invasion from the north.) So I would expect many people from the wartime generation or who were in contact with that generation to still find that expression to be offensive.

The OP is likely not of the Imperial generation, but I recalled reading it here : Jap - Wikipedia
