Japan history notes
The flag of Japan was created in 1870, although the red sun
had been used on war banners for centuries.
Kublai Khan, the Mongol leader, twice tried to invade Japan (1281). But his fleet of ships were defeated, both times, by Typhoon storms.
Nippon is the usual name for the Japanese islands
and the term means the source of the sun.
