Japan's prefecture flags are renowned for their simplicity and beauty, often featuring stylized geometric designs and characters from the Japanese writing system. These modern emblems draw inspiration from traditional heraldic symbols, or mon, used by medieval warriors. The flags typically incorporate a limited color palette, which enhances their minimalist aesthetic.
The Asian country is divided into 47 prefectures, categorized into four types: 2 Fu (府) for urban areas (Osaka and Kyoto), 43 Ken (県) for standard prefectures, 1 Do (道) for Hokkaido, and 1 To (都) for the Tokyo Metropolis. These classifications reflect historical and administrative distinctions, though they function similarly today.
