Let's get out from the small Island
And shine on the world

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Ty announced Nipponia on September 6, 2000, at the
International Tokyo Gift Show. Nipponia's name is derived
from Nippon, the Japanese language word for Japan. Ty
appended "ia" to the end of Nippon to create the name for
this bear. Nipponia's chest flag (the official national flag
of Japan) means Nisshoki (Rising-sun flag) and was adopted
as Japan's national flag in 1870. It also is called Hinomaru
(Disk of the Sun) and Nihon no Kokki (Flag of Japan). The
red circle represents the sun.
