Flags of the World | Japan


Postcard
Japan is often referred to as the Land of the Rising Sun. So it is probably no surprise that the Japanese flag represents the sun.

The sun has important religious and mythological significance in the country. Local beliefs suggest that Amaterasu, the sun goddess, is a direct ancestor of the Emperors of Japan.
