Flag of Itabashi Tokyo Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the official flag of Itabashi Ward, a district within Tokyo, Japan. The design centers around a striking visual representation of the ward's identity.
Emblem and Symbolism
The core of the design is the Itabashi Ward emblem, prominently displayed in white against a deep purple or dark violet background. This emblem is a stylized composition of katakana characters, specifically イ (“I”), タ (“TA”), and バシ (“BASHI”), representing the ward's name.
The arrangement is carefully considered: “I” occupies the left side of a central circle, “TA” is positioned on the right, and four instances of “HA” (a portion of “BASHI”) are symmetrically placed around the circle's perimeter. These four “HA” characters serve a dual purpose. They complete the ward's name visually and also represent bridges, or "hashi" in Japanese, which directly references the meaning of Itabashi's name, "board bridge".
Meaning and Representation
The overall design is rich with symbolism. The characters and bridge motifs together embody themes of growth, unity, and continuous development within the ward. The circular form of the emblem, along with the outward-facing “HA” characters, visually suggests expansiveness and connection, perfectly reflecting the ward’s name and its symbolic association with bridges – structures that link and unite.
