Hokkaido 北海道
Origin
The emblem reinterprets the five-pointed star of the historic Hokushin ('North Star') flag as a modern seven-pointed star of light, expressing the pioneering spirit of Hokkaido's early settlers and the prefecture's boldly expanding future. Unlike the prefectural flag, no official coloring is specified for the emblem itself.
