Toyama 富山県
Origin
Chosen through a 1957 public contest, decided on September 16, and established as the emblem by prefectural notice No. 774 of December 14 of that year. The hiragana と (to), the first syllable of Toyama, is placed at the center of Mt. Tateyama, evoking a prefecture leaping toward the open sky. The originally rounded interior of the と was sharpened to an acute angle by a design revision of December 27, 1988.
Adopted
December 14, 1957
