Flag of Japan

I think the Japanese flag is the most simple flag in the world. I always wondered who made a flag with a big red dot on it. I would of never thought that a big red dot could represent the sun. 


The national flag of Japan is a white rectangular flag with a large red disk (representing the sun) in the center. This flag is officially called Nisshōki (日章旗^?, "sun-mark flag") in Japanese, but is more commonly known as Hinomaru(日の丸^?, "circle of the sun").
