Kyoto 京都府
Origin
The current emblem and flag were adopted on November 2, 1976, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution of Japan, based on a design selected through a public competition. Inside a six-petaled figure representing the dignified character of the ancient capital, the kanji 京 (kyō, "capital"), the first character of Kyoto, is rendered in the shape of a human figure, expressing the unity and combined strength of the prefecture's residents.
