Nozomi Kariyasu, 6 May 1998
Picture an old mountain, well rounded by erosion. Place upon it the symbol for
"forest" (itself representing three "tree" or
"wood" symbols combined), and you have a picture of Yamanashi and
it's flag.
Bruce Ward, 7 June 1996
The prefecture flag was adopted on Dec 1st 1966 by Notice No 262. The purple
flag has white and yellow flag emblem which is different from the prefecture
emblem. It is stylized kanji 山Yama of Yamanashi in yellow in Mt. Fuji in white.
The purple color stands for local speciality grape, the white color for purity
and the curved line for the flexibility and unlimited improvement.
