The Japanese flag is represented by a white background with a large red circle centered on the flag. This red circle represents a rising sun, and the white background stands for honesty, purity, and peace. The red color of the circle represents bravery, strength, and valor.

Red generally has to do with both Shinto and Buddhist traditions, and brides often wear it.

Orange means happiness and love

Yellow means bravery and cheerfulness (quite the opposite of our Western interpretation of cowardice). It's also to color of the national crest, the chrysanthemum, and in Buddhism, yellow is sacred (although fewer Japanese Buddhists wear it...)

Green means life (like plants)

Blue means hope and wisdom

Purple means wealth and authority

White means mourning and death (although it's occasionally used in small amounts with other colors to conjure a different meaning)

Black generally means experience, age, and sometime status (that's why you see many geishas wearing it-but don't get them mixed up with the younger maiko that wear colorful kimonos and are only apprentice geishas)

Brown doesn't have an exact counterpart in Japanese, but the Japanese generally describe it as 'tea' or 'earth' .

Pink generally isn't very common in traditional Japanese culture, but it usually has to do with cherry blossoms or, in a Western-influenced viewpoint, femininity.

The national flag used by Imperial Japan during World War II, composed of white background with a bright red circle at its center, represents as a whole a sun shining throughout the world. Like the military flag (composed of a white background with red circle, out of which red bands emanate), this flag symbolizes the blazing glory of Japan, rising to greatness, standing at the center of the world-community, and overshadowing all other nations.
