Ehime 愛媛県
Origin
Designed by Shigeo Fukuda. Red represents the sun and the prefectural flower, the mikan (mandarin orange) blossom; green represents the natural blessings symbolized by Mount Ishizuchi; and blue represents the benefits of the Seto Inland Sea, together symbolizing a healthy and bright future for the prefecture's residents. It replaced the previous emblem (adopted in 1973 and based on the hiragana character え) and was adopted on November 1, 1989 (Heisei 1).
