What does Japan's flag have on it?

The current Japanese flag consists of a bright red disc on a white field. In this design, the red disc is representative of the sun, bringing to mind Japan's traditional nickname, "Land of the Rising Sun".

The flag's dimension ratio is 2:3 (Width:Length). The diameter of the disc is 3/5 of the short side and is centered on the flag. I could not find an official color guide for the flag, but according to a historical listing, two of the most recent and most commonly used color schemes describe it as "0/100/90/0" in CMYK or "032 Coated" in Pantone.

Common well-known variations include the war flag of the Imperial Japanese Army, which keeps the previous specifications but also includes several red wedges radiating from the central disc. Also included is the Naval Ensign which is similar in design to the war flag with the exception that the red disc is located to the left of center.
