Japanese people have tendency to do that.

Japanese people have tendency to do that when they paint the sun and rabbit.

One : when they paint the sun.
Japanese people have tendency to paint the sun with red (or orange).

Japanese name of a country is called Nippon / Nihon. It means land of the rising sun.
Japanese national flag also stands for that. Probably they are affected by the flag.


But, actually the rising sun looks like red (or orange).


Katsushika Hokusai painted red Mt. Fuji that is shined by the rising sun.




Two : when they paint rabbit.
Japanese people have tendency to paint rabbit that have white body and red eye.

Rabbit native to Japan (Japanese White) have white fur (especially in Winter).
And a large number of them are albino.


That's why Japanese people tends to paint like that.
