Nagano 長野県
Origin
Based on a design chosen through a 1966 public contest, established by prefectural notice on December 26 of that year and in use since January 1, 1967. Within a circle, the katakana ナ (na), the first syllable of Nagano, is stylized as a bird in flight, while the design also depicts mountains reflected on the surface of a lake — an image of the prefecture's nature and of a prefecture soaring and developing through the friendship and unity of its people.
Adopted
