Neat how a few of them are off centre (Nagano, Mie, Fukushima for example). Some appear to derive their symbols from Japanese family crest symbols. And the prefectures with "Yama" all have some sort of mountain range triangular symbolism.

...on the other hand my brain is in the wrong place when I look at the Kanagawa flag.
