Colorful prefectures everywhere! These vibrant pin badges are colored to represent famous products, landmarks, and more from each region. There are 47 different color motifs, such as 'Aomori Prefecture: Apple,' 'Tochigi Prefecture: Strawberry,' and 'Osaka Prefecture: Dotonbori.'

They're getting a huge response on social media, with comments like 'This is such great taste!' and 'I want to collect them all and put them together!' People are also having fun guessing the motifs for their hometowns, saying things like, 'I thought Kyoto was green for matcha, but it's for the bamboo forests!' and 'Is Aichi's theme the shachihoko (golden tiger-fish)? Or maybe miso?' It looks like fun to guess the motif for your own local area.
