Flag of Japan
The flag of Japan shows a red sun (rising sun) in the middle of a white field. It is called Nisshōki (日章旗, 'flag of the sun') formally in Japan. But Japanese people usually call it Hinomaru (日の丸, 'circle of the sun'). The Japanese navy uses the other flag; the sun has rays. This flag represents the heat of the sun. Its colours are red and white.
