Where is the 'Land of the Rising Sun'?
|
This is a name for Japan. An ancient legend tells how the immortal being Izanagi dipped his spear into the ocean and formed the islands of Japan from shining drops of water. The sun goddess, Amaterasu, promised that she and her descendants would always look after these sparkling islands. | | On the Japanese flag the red sun represents sincerity and passion, and the white background purity and honesty. |
