3' x 5' polyester Japan Flag with grommets and double-stitched edges to reduce fraying.

✍️ The Design: The flag of Japan, known officially as the Nisshōki ("Sun-mark flag") and more commonly as the Hinomaru ("Circle of the Sun"), is perhaps the most elegant example of minimalist flag design in the world. It is a visual representation of the nation's name: Japan, "The Land of the Rising Sun."

The design features a crimson-red disc centered on a pure white field. The white background embodies the virtues of honesty, integrity, and purity that are deeply woven into the fabric of Japanese culture. The central red sun, meanwhile, represents Amaterasu, the sun goddess and legendary founder of Japan’s imperial line. This symbol has been associated with the Japanese identity for over a thousand years, appearing on the fans of samurai and the banners of shoguns long before it was officially adopted as the national emblem.

Standardized in its modern proportions in 1999, the Japanese flag is a proud tribute to a nation that perfectly balances ancient tradition with cutting-edge modernity. It stands as a historic symbol of peace, radiant energy, and a culture that finds profound beauty in simplicity. Whether flown for heritage or aesthetic appreciation, it remains one of the most iconic banners in human history.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.
  • We donate $1 to nonprofits and organizations supporting progressive, humanitarian, and justice-oriented causes around the world. You can select which organization you want your purchase to support in the box below the "Add To Cart" button.

    If you do not select a cause, your purchase's donation will be split among all the causes listed equally!

  • Yes! Our single-layer flags have full rich color on both sides of the fabric.

  • This flag is single-layer, meaning it is printed on the front. On the reverse side, the text will appear mirrored. If you want it oriented correctly on both sides, look for our flags that have a "double-layer" option.

  • It really depends on the environment it is flying in. Direct UV exposure, wind, rain, latitude, and especially hitting things like the brick on a house will shorten your flag's life. Also, dark colors fade first and the fastest. See our care page to make your flag last the longest!

  • We want you to love your flag. If you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase, we offer a 30-day return policy. Simply contact us at orders@flagsforgood.com, and we’ll guide you through the process. Read more here

  • We are a small team with limited shelf space. If a design is popular, we start expanding the sizes we offer of that flag. Let us know if you really want to see more of this design!

  • We ship most things that don't include poles in discreet black eco-mailers. They're made from recovered ocean-bound plastic, so even our packaging does good!

    Anything shipped with a flag pole, garden pole, or large numbers of flags comes in a standard cardboard box.

  • You choose! We offer standard USPS and expedited shipping options at checkout. Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days within the continental US, while expedited options are available for faster delivery if you choose to upgrade. We try to get orders in the mail as soon as we can. This could be as fast as the next day or take us a few days during busy times.
