Flag of Kyoto City Japan - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

The Flag of Kyoto City, Japan, is a symbol of this ancient and culturally rich Japanese city. Adopted in 1937, the flag features three main elements: a white circle (or medallion) representing the Imperial Palace, located at the center; an eight-petal chrysanthemum within the circle that symbolizes the Chrysanthemum Throne, which has been the crest of Japanese emperors since the Heian Period; and the city's name "京都市" (Kyōto-shi) written in a horizontal format around the circumference of the white circle. The flag embodies Kyoto's rich history, royal connections, and enduring status as a significant cultural hub in Japan.
