The Fascinating World of Asian Flags
Asia is the largest continent on Earth with 48 sovereign states and incredible cultural diversity. From Japan’s rising sun to China’s five-pointed star – Asian flags reflect thousands of years of history, religious symbolism, and modern national identity.
The diversity of Asian flags is impressive: While Japan’s flag, with its minimalist red circle on a white background, represents one of the simplest designs in the world, Nepal’s flag, as the only non-rectangular national flag, shows a complex geometric shape with sun and moon.
