Flag of Shizuoka Prefecture Japan - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Shizuoka Prefecture is a symbol representing the administrative region of Shizuoka, Japan. Adopted on March 20, 1948, the flag consists of a white field (background) with two horizontal stripes in shades of red and green. The top stripe is red, occupying approximately one-third of the flag's height, while the bottom stripe is green, taking up the remaining two-thirds. The center of the flag features a large white disk, known as the "Mon," which contains the prefecture's emblem. The design of the flag represents the fusion of the historical provinces of Suruga and Tōtōmi, both incorporated into Shizuoka Prefecture. The red stripe symbolizes the former Suruga Province, while the green represents Tōtōmi. The white disk with the emblem reflects the samurai crest of the Tokugawa shoguns, who ruled over both provinces during the Edo period. The Flag of Shizuoka Prefecture serves as a visual representation of the region's history and cultural identity within Japan.
