Battle of Dan-no-Ura 壇ノ浦の合戦
源氏の白旗、white - 平氏の赤旗 red
The use goes back to the times of the Genpei war. 源平
In addition, this war and its aftermath established white and red , the colors of the Minamoto and Taira standards, respectively, as Japan's national colors.
Today, these colors can be seen on the flag of Japan, and also in banners and flags in sumo and other traditional activities.

koohaku uta gassen 紅白歌合戦
Red and White Song Battle
more commonly known as simply Kōhaku, is an annual music show on New Year's Eve produced by Japanese public broadcaster NHK and broadcast on both television and radio, nationally and internationally by NHK's networks and some overseas (mainly cable) broadcasters which bought the program. The show ends shortly before midnight.
Literally "Red and White Song Battle," the program divides the most popular music artists of the year into competing teams of red and white.
The "red" team or akagumi (赤組, 紅組) is composed of all female artists (or groups with female vocals), while
the "white" team or shirogumi (白組) is all male (or groups with male vocals).
