Japan flag design

The Japanese flag is called in the national language "sun coat of arms flag" (日章旗 = Nisshōki) or also "sun round" or "Circle of the Sun", which directly describes the design: A larger vermillion red circle is located exactly in the middle on a white background. It is supposed to symbolize the sun. Exact dimensions are legally defined for the Japan flag, such as an aspect ratio of 2:3 and a diameter of the sun circle of ⅗ in relation to the short side of the flag rectangle. For example, if a Japanese flag is 1.50 m wide and 1.0 m high, the diameter of the circle of the sun must be 60 cm. This design has carried the Japan flag since 1854, although there have been other designs alongside it. From 1868 onwards, while the Japanese considered the current design to be their national flag, it was not until 1999 that a formal declaration of the national flag took place. At that time, the government also changed the aspect ratio to the current ratio of 2:3, which was 7:10 before. The placement of the circle of the sun was also changed slightly. Its symbolism stands for the history of Japan.
