		This is why the Japanese began to call their country Nihon or Nippon, literally meaning "source of the sun" and often translated into English as "land of the rising sun."
		The Japanese national anthem, which only became officially recognized as such in 1999, is called "Kimigayo." The national flag, by the way, was also just officially established in 1999 and is called the Hinomaru.
		It is known as the hinomaru in Japanese, meaning "circle of the sun." Because Japan lies at the far West of the Pacific Ocean, the sun rises spectacularly over the sea to the East.

	IOL: Anthem refusal land teachers 'back at school'
		The Rising Sun and Kimigayo were legally made the national flag and anthem in 1999.

	BookPage Interview
		Rising Sun, a play on the Japanese flag as well as that country's economic advance, is on the surface a police procedural: a beautiful young model/party girl with influential political "friends" is found murdered in the boardroom of a major Japanese industrial conglomerate on the night of its all-star opening.
		Though a novel, Rising Sun is being treated as virtual non-fiction because of its extensive discussions of video technology, congressional policy and high-handed high finance.
		But considering the reviews and interviews concerning his latest techno-thriller, which explores the labyrinthine corporate finagling of a Japanese high-tech firm in Los Angeles, Rising Sun (Alfred A. Knopf, $22.00) might have better have been named Rising Storm.

	Why is Japan called "the land of the rising sun"? : Japan
		It is also a reference to the national flag which sees a sun rising from the horizon (which can only happen at the eastern horizon).
		In short, Japan is Asia's "land of the rising sun" for the same reason that Americans refer to the Maine>Florida coastline as "the East Coast", and feel safe that no American will think "the East Coast" refers to some part of Brazil, Asia, or Madagascar.

		Lotus and Chrysanthemum represents the "Horizon" and a "rising sun" symbolic of the dawn of a new day and Japan, "The Land of the Rising Sun." The kanji characters within the emblem stand for "hasu" or lotus, and "kiku" or chrysanthemum.
		The red and white colours of the Japanese flag have been retained as the basic corporate colours since the company's business is related to Japan and the Japanese language and culture.
		The brush stroke representing the horizon is derived from Japanese calligraphy and "sumi-e" which is a brush stroke drawing using India-ink: a mixture of lampblack, glue and water.

		Land of the rising sun, we love and cherish, Beloved homeland of our brave heroes; We must defend our lives or we shall perish, We shall protect our hearts from all our foes; But if the price is death for all we hold dear, Then let us die without a shred of fear.
		Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation, Oh fatherland, this be our solemn pledge: Defending thee shall be a dedication, Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege; The waving standard which emboldens the free Shall always be our flag of liberty.
		We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal, And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass; When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal, We shall remember those who died in mass; Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

	The Battleship Kongo
		Thus, the sovereignty of the Emperor, his involvement with Shintô, and even an official flag and national anthem ( Kimigaiyo), set off intense debate, recrimination, threats, violence, and soul searching.
		Yet, where in Britain a Sovereign Queen, a State religion (the Church of England), and various national symbols seem to pose no threat to freedom or democracy, Japan continues to live under the shadow of the crimes practiced in the name of the Emperor, the State religion (State Shintô), and various symbols.
		The remaining battleships were finally defeated by the Japanese Army, which bombarded them from land and then took Port Arthur, which surrendered on 2 January 1905.

	Article: Rising Sun vs. Morning Calm: The Birth of a Korean Fencing Tradition, by Myke Cole
		The Land of The Rising Sun has had a stormy relationship with The Land of The Morning Calm, most recently reflected in a bitter dispute over the hosting of the 2002 FIFA Soccer World Cup.
		Though the Hwa Rang Kwan was the single largest school present at the competition, the Korean flag and anthem were conspicuously absent, as the U.S., Canadian, and Japanese flags were flown and national anthems were sung during the opening ceremonies.

	The Republic :: Land of the rising sun rises again
		By forcing students and teachers alike to hoist the flag and sing "Kimigayo" (the Emperor-worshipping national anthem once thought to be an unfortunate relic of Japan's embarrassing Imperial past) during official school ceremonies, Koizumi and his ilk hope to instill patriotism into the still-forming heads of future hawks.
		Disregarding a recent supreme court ruling which has deemed his Yasukuni visits unconstitutional and in violation of the principles which separate religion from politics, Koizumi has gone on record to say he will ignore the judge's ruling and continue paying his respects to the war dead at the ultra-nationalist shrine.
		Flush with their recent success of turning the tide of Japanese public sentiment towards removing the war-renouncing Article 9 of the American-written post-war constitution, rightwing law makers have fixed their sights on the nation's school rooms.

	Understanding the Japanese Flag
		The Japanese have several names for their flag, including names that mean “rising sun” and “disk of the sun.” The standard interpretation that the Japanese have for their flag is that the red disk represents the sun, in keeping with Japan’s sobriquet as being “the land of the rising sun.”
		So, a ready-made explanation for that satisfaction with the flag’s design, being the rising-sun explanation, is invoked as a rationalization for that feeling of satisfaction.
		The flag of Japan is a red disk on a white background.

	Flag of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The national flag of Japan, known as Nisshōki (日章旗) or Hinomaru(日の丸 "sun disc") in Japanese, is a base white flag with a large red disc (representing the rising sun) in the center.
		A legend says that its origins lie in the days of the Mongol invasions of Japan in the 13th century, when the Buddhist priest Nichiren was supposed to have offered the sun disc flag to the Emperor of Japan, who was considered a descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu.
		However, it was not formally adopted as the national flag until August 13, 1999 by the Proclamation No. 127, which also confirmed its dimensions: the flag has a height:width ratio of 2:3, the disc is at the exact centre of the flag and its diameter is three-fifths of the flag's height.
