Japan National Flag Hinomaru T-Shirt

The national flag of Japan is officially called Nisshōki (日章旗, the "sun-mark flag") but it is more commonly called Hinomaru (日の丸, the "circle of the sun"). It comprises a red sun disk on a white field. The sun is connected to Japanese mythology and the Shinto religion, and the Emporer is said to be the direct descendent of the sun goddess Amaterasu. The crimson red color represents prosperity for Japan. The white field on which the sun rests represents the purity, integrity, and honesty of the Japanese people. Wear or gift this tee to honor your heritage or for love of Japan, its culture, and its people.
