Yamaguchi 山口県

Origin

Both the flag and emblem were established on September 3, 1962, marking the 90th anniversary of the prefecture. The kanji 山 (yama, 'mountain') and 口 (kuchi, 'mouth') — the two characters of Yamaguchi — are stylized as a circle expressing the unity and leap of the residents and as a bird taking wing toward the sun, representing a proud prefecture that has produced many great figures.
