Flag of Ainu Nation in Northern Japan.
ratio (probably) 2:3.
Searched by Juanjo Gonzalez.
No explanation about symbolism.
Jaume Ollé - 20 September 1996
The Ainu flag was designed by the late Mr Bikki Sunazawa in 1973.
Cerurean blue stands for sky and sea , white for snow and red for arrow which is running in the snow beneath big Hokkaido's sky .
As a whole, the flag is a symbol of ainu peoles mind and culture which never disappear.
