Buy / Sell Japan flag: all about the history of Japanese flags

Among all flags, the Japanese flag consists of a rectangle with a white background and a plain red circle in the centre. It is one of the symbols of Japan, the world's second largest economy and also the country with the highest life expectancy on the planet! The flag of Japan, of a 2:3 ratio proportion with white and deep crimson red colours, has been both the civil and state flag and the merchant and state nautical flag (naval flag) since 27 February 1870. In Japanese, this flag is known as Hinomaru (in Japanese characters: 日の丸の旗) which literally means the flag with a solar disc, or the Japanese flag Nisshōki (日章旗). The large red solar disc on the flag, whose diameter represents 3/5 of the total height of the flag, represents the sun of Japan, an island country also known as the Land of the Rising Sun. It would even be an allegory of the Japanese sun goddess shinto: Amaterasu. It is difficult to determine when the use of the hinomaru emblem dating back to 701 in the classical Japanese literary text Shoku Nihongi, in which Emperor Monmu, the 42nd Emperor of Japan, describes the use of the flag in the courtyard of the Imperial Palace. This flag with its strong connotation arouses controversial reactions and opinions within Japanese society itself: some consider it a great symbol of Japanese imperialism and hegemony, others as a sharp reminder of Japan's militaristic past, others as a symbol of the greatness of Japanese millennial culture.

The Japanese national flag is different from the war flags of the Japanese army, in fact the Japanese imperial army and the naval defense forces use a variant of the Japanese flag also representing a red sun emitting sixteen rays stretching outwards from the flag.

Another well-known flag is the imperial flag: the Emperor's colours are represented by a flag with a red background and a golden chrysanthemum flower with 16 petals at a ratio of 2:3 in its centre. The Chrysanthemum motif has been a recurring symbol of Japanese imperialism since the 12th century (during the heroic and chivalrous era of Kamakura considered as the golden age of Japanese swords) and the Chrysanthemum throne is by metonymy the name given to the Japanese imperial throne.
