Why color japan flag pictures?

We all know that Japan is one of the most distinct countries in all of Asia, since it is characterized by having a very peculiar culture, a special language, and a very high level of education. But, do you know what other thing is just as important and special as everything we mentioned? Its flag!

The flag of Japan was adopted on February 27, 1870 as a civil ensign. From that moment the government of Japan gradually began to modernize that island.

In addition, it was the first national flag adopted. That's right! Because back then the Japanese still did not see it as very necessary to have national symbols. Don't you think that is something surprising?
