Flag of Kyoto Prefecture Japan - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

The Flag of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, is a rectangular banner that symbolizes the administrative region of Kyoto. It consists of two main sections divided diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner, forming a triangular field on the upper fly half and a smaller triangular field on the lower hoist half. The upper triangular section is white with a red circle in its center that represents the Chrysanthemum crest of the Imperial House of Japan, which has historical significance as Kyoto was once the imperial capital. The smaller triangular section below it is green, symbolizing the lush landscapes and forests that are characteristic of the prefecture. The flag reflects the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Kyoto Prefecture while also acknowledging its important role in Japan's history as a center of power during the Heian period (794–1185). The flag design was officially adopted on June 23, 966, making it one of the oldest flags in continuous use worldwide.
