The Japanese flag is a RED circle on a WHITE background and it has RED lines projecting out from it. Japan is known as "the land of the rising sun". This is what their flag represents; a sun rising.

Since Japan is in the Far East, it is one of the first countries that see the sun rise on a new day, starting from the International Date Line that runs through center of the Pacific Ocean. Australia is actually the first major country that sees the sun rise first.
