This is my interpretation of the Portrait of Japan, using two main things which I think represent Japan mostly.
The fish "Tai" is regarded as a good luck fish in Japan. Also the Japanese consider red (aka) as an auspicious color. Clothing marked with the family crest is called Montsuki, witch literally means "an object with a crest". A crested Haori and Hakama were put over a crested Kimono as a formal dress.
As a portrait of Japan, I have painted them carrying the "Hinomaru" on their back, which is the national flag of Japan. The large red center disk on the white base is representing the sun for the "Land of the Rising Sun".
