Prefecture
The flag of Hiroshima Prefecture is a crimson field charged in the center with a white, stylized representation of the initial mora hi (ヒ) in katakana. On its own, the charge is the emblem of Hiroshima Prefecture and shares the same crimson color as the field of the flag. The overlapping circles of the emblem represent "the growing progress and development" of Hiroshima Prefecture.
Hiroshima is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Each prefecture has its own official emblem (mon), flag, flower, tree, and bird. Japanese prefectural emblems are distinctive minimalist designs that often incorporate natural elements and geometric patterns.
