Explanation

Japan is traditionally known as the 'Land of the Rising Sun' because it is one of the first countries to see the sunrise each day, being located in the far east. The name 'Nihon' or 'Nippon' in Japanese literally means 'sun-origin'. This nickname dates back to diplomatic communications with China in the 7th century.
