Flag map shows the flag of Japan clipped inside the country's borders. Flag image is resized to match the width and height of the country's outline. Maphill flag maps are more precise than often used flag clip art illustrations.

The rules how to hang the flag are different country to country. You can choose the aligment and the orientation of the flag in the map. Select whether the flag should fit in the shape of the country borders or whether you prefer to preserve the ratio of the flag itself.

What does single color outside mean? This means that all areas outside the borders of Japan are filled with a single solid color. This helps to visually separate the main region from the outside countries and regions.

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This map of Japan uses Plate Carree projection. The Plate Carree projection is a simple cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. It has straight and equally spaced meridians and parallels that meet at right angles.

All projections from a sphere to a plane are distorted. The drawback of the Plate Carree projection is that it doesn't make an attempt to compensate for these distortions. For the general view of Japan, this is not a significant problem. The detailed maps use the Mercator projection which preserves the shape of small areas better.
