Shimane 島根県

Origin

Before the current emblem was established, the prefecture used its staff badge, created on April 8, 1952, in place of an emblem. Within a double circle it places 'SIMANE' — the Japanese-style romanization of Shimane — slightly to the lower right, with 縣, the old form of the character 県 ('prefecture'), designed into the upper left of the circle.

Adopted

April 8, 1952
