The Tibetan flag, also known as the "snow lion flag"[1] and the 'Free Tibet flag', was a flag of the military of Tibet, introduced by the13th Dalai Lama in 1912 and used for the same capacity until 1959. Designed with the help of a Japanese priest, it reflects the design motif of the Japanese military's Rising Sun Flag. Since the 1960s, it is used a symbol of the Tibetan independence movement.
