The red circle on the Japanese Flag represents the rising sun, as Japan is one of the first countries to see the sunrise. Japanese people call their country Nippon, which means land of the rising sun.

The basic White Flag with Red Circle is a simple version of the flag that has Sun Rays radiating out from the Red circle. This image depicts the sunrise.

The rising sun is associated with brightness, center of attention, rulers, messiahs, cleverness, greatness, strength, and most of all, power (control). That is why the clever Japanese chose this meaningful symbol. The Japanese believe that they are one of the most powerful and strongest nations in the world.
