The empire famously known as the "Land of the Rising Sun" is Japan. This title originates from Japan's name in Japanese, "Nihon" or "Nippon," which translates to "origin of the sun." The term is historically linked to Japan's geographical position to the east of the Asian continent, where the sun rises. The phrase became synonymous with Japanese national identity and culture. Additionally, Japan has celebrated its identity through various art, literature, and cultural expressions that reflect both its historical significance and contemporary society, fostering a strong sense of pride among its people.
