Colorful prefectures! The colorful pin badges are colored to evoke the local specialties and famous places of each prefecture, and there are 47 different color motifs, such as "Aomori Prefecture: apples," "Tochigi Prefecture: strawberries," and "Osaka Prefecture: Dotonbori."

Social media has been met with a great response, with comments such as "Their sense is so good" and "I want to collect them all and stick them together!" Other comments include "Kyoto is green, so I thought it would be matcha, but it's actually a bamboo forest," and "Aichi is a shachihoko? Maybe miso?" It seems like it would be fun to guess what motif your own hometown is.

Hokkaido is lavender colored

Hokkaido is divided into four regions: Central Hokkaido, Northern Hokkaido, Eastern Hokkaido, and Southern Hokkaido, and is colored in lavender.

There are also items with maps of Sapporo and Otaru as motifs.

These prefecture pin badges are made by Zenrin, a map information company. They offer goods with motifs of prefectures and cities from all over Japan, and there are many Hokkaido-themed items in their lineup! The cute designs based on maps are innovative, such as a furoshiki wrapping cloth with a Japanese-style map of Sapporo city, and a teacup with a picture of the topography of the hot spring resort of Noboribetsu.

You'll want to wear these local items that you have a special attachment to. They'll subtly show off that you're from a certain place or that you love that prefecture!
