Saga 佐賀県

Origin

Three instances of the kanji 力 (chikara, "strength") are arranged radially. The circular form signifies harmony, and the three strengths joined together express the idea of prospering ever more — a wordplay, as "three strengths" can be read sanka or saka(eru), "to prosper", echoing the name Saga. Adopted in 1936.
