The reason why New Zealand is not called the 'Land of the Rising Sun' is because there is no China nearby. ... Japan had been called several things before settling on the term Nippon or Nihon (日本), or 'sun origin.'

Answer:
The expression "Land of the Rising Sun" is actually a translation of the name the Japanese use to refer to their country, Nihon. It's written using the kanji characters 日 (ni) which means "day", and 本 (hon), meaning "origin". Nihon, then, would be the country of origin of the sun.
