Historical Context
The Japan Flag, known as the Nisshōki (“sun flag”) or Hinomaru (“circle of the sun”), was officially adopted as Japan’s national flag on January 13, 1870 (with formal legislation in 1999). The design dates back centuries, with roots in ancient mythology associating the sun goddess Amaterasu with Japan. It has been used since the 7th century in various forms and became prominent during the Meiji Restoration. The Hinomaru represents the “Land of the Rising Sun” and embodies simplicity, purity, and the enduring spirit of Japan.
