Okinawa Prefecture Flag - Symbolism and Design of the Ryukyu Islands Banner #2025369 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Okinawa Prefecture features a vertical bicolour of green (left) and white (right), with three white hexagonal emblems arranged in a triangular formation, each containing a five-petal flower resembling the hibiscus or *deigo* (Okinawan flame tree), symbolizing peace, prosperity, and the unity of the people. The green represents the island’s lush nature and hope, while white signifies purity and peace. The design was officially adopted in 1972 upon Okinawa’s reversion to Japanese administration.
