Japan Flag: Hinomaru, Nisshōki, Red Rising Sun Mug
The Hinomaru: Japan's Timeless Symbol - The Hinomaru, or Nisshōki, is the national flag of Japan. Its simple design, consisting of a red circle on a white background, has deep historical and cultural significance. - History - The origins of the Hinomaru can be traced back to ancient times. The red circle symbolizes the sun, a powerful and revered symbol in Japanese culture. The sun goddess Amaterasu is considered the ancestor of the Japanese Imperial family, and the Hinomaru is often associated with her. - The flag's modern form was adopted in 1870 during the Meiji Restoration, a period of rapid modernization and westernization in Japan. The Hinomaru became a symbol of national unity and identity during this time. - Meaning of Colours - White: Represents purity, honesty, and sincerity. It also symbolizes the peace and tranquillity associated with the Japanese people. - Red: Represents the sun, a symbol of energy, life, and prosperity. It also symbolizes courage and passion. - Simple Design - The Hinomaru's simple design reflects the Japanese aesthetic of minimalism and elegance. It is easy to recognize and understand, even by people who are unfamiliar with Japanese culture. The flag's simplicity also makes it versatile and adaptable to various contexts, from formal government ceremonies to everyday life. - In Conclusion - The Hinomaru is more than just a flag; it is a powerful symbol of Japan's history, culture, and identity. Its simple yet evocative design has made it a recognizable and enduring emblem around the world. - According to Japanese Copyright Law (June 1, 2018 grant) the copyright on this work has expired and is as such public domain.

Creator Review
Love this mug! Zazzle does such a GREAT job - it's shiny, and pretty, and really shows off the whimsical artwork extraordinarily well. You really can't tell how awesome it's going to be until you hold it in your hands. My new favourite mug! The printing was clear, sharp, and beautiful. Really showcased the artwork in true colours. Excellent craftmanship! Couldn't be happier.

Classic Mug, 325 ml
Colors just as bright as shown on-line.
Would be nice if the colour choices for interior & handle on the large mug were as many as on the smaller one.
