Japan Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Japan with our Japan Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic national flag of Japan, known as the Nisshōki (sun-mark flag) or more commonly as the Hinomaru (circle of the sun), a powerful symbol of its unique culture, its historical significance, and its enduring national spirit.

The Japan banner features a simple yet profoundly symbolic design: a large red disc (representing the sun) set precisely in the center of a white rectangular field. The white field symbolizes purity, honesty, and integrity. The red disc represents the sun goddess Amaterasu, from whom the Japanese imperial family is said to be descended, and signifies brightness, sincerity, and warmth. The Hinomaru design has ancient origins, with legends linking it to the 13th century when Buddhist priests offered a sun disc flag to the Emperor of Japan. It became the de facto national flag during the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century and was officially adopted as the national flag on August 13, 1999. This harmonious blend of colours and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Japan’s profound historical narrative, its deep cultural roots, and its aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous future.

Our Japan mini flag patches measure 1.5″ x 2.5″ (approximately 3.8 cm x 6.3 cm), making them an ideal size for personalizing a wide range of apparel items. Each patch comes with an iron-on backing for quick and easy initial application to most fabrics. However, for the most secure and permanent attachment, especially on garments that will be frequently washed or endure heavy use, sew-on installation is highly recommended. This ensures your Japan flag badge remains firmly in place for years to come.

Whether you’re a traveler, a collector, or simply a proud citizen, our national flag patches are the perfect way to express yourself.
