Ultimate Battle of Japan

Electric Nitwit

Shizuoka

Mostly for the description, that's really cool

Stylised map of the prefecture and Mount Fuji. Blue stands for the sky and the Pacific Ocean and orange for sun light, passion and unity of people.

Pawwed Rig

Shizuoka as the Mt. Fuji in orange looks really nice against the blue.

KathleenGrant

Aaaaaaaaagh Nitwit!

Was just ready to post the same

Shizuoka cos what Nitwit said.

Mark the calendar cos that's it for agreeing.

I admittedly haven't been keeping abreast of things but are these two really two of the four best flags that Japan has to offer?

Nope but if only a small number of people vote we can't complain about the result.

Omackeral

We have our first finalist.

Shizouka advances to the final

quickbeam

I already know how I'll vote in the next semi.

Well don't spoil it :P

Semi Final 2

Ehime



Yellow stands for happiness, green for peace and white for simplicity and purity. The mon represents orange blossom, the prefectural flower.


VS


Fukuoka



Stylised hiragana of ふく (fuku). It also represents plum, the prefectural flower.

Purgative

Ehime a colourful charming flag

quickbeam

Again, really like both, but going with Fukuoka as the knot is very nice, though if it's meant to represent a plum then Japan should look at those radioactive rays around there if that's the shape their plums grow in!

Citizenpain

Ehime Not a fan of either tbh but will go with Ehime

ari101

Fukuoka - the infinity plum flower for the win...

Earthhorse

Fukuoka - the knot is quite flowing and pleasing. Ehime was a nice novelty flag but it doesn’t feel especially Japanese to me.

Yeah, I think this sums up my view too. Surprised this is a semi; there were better ones earlier in the comp I thought.

Anyways, Fukuoka

davetherave

Fukuoka, for the same reasons as Earthhorse said.

JP Liz V1

Ehime more a spring summer vibe

Pawwed Rig

Ehime prefer the colour scheme

Omackeral

Our second flag has been planted in the final.

Fukuoka advances to the final

KathleenGrant

Ehime
Pretty and colourful and attractive to me because of that. But that's most likely a western point of view.


Fukuoka
The colours are not as pretty and the blossom symbol probably not as obviously attractive ad Ehime but the "infinity" feel so satisfying.

I'm voting Fukuoka

KathleenGrant

Oops late but didn't matter anyway

Electric Nitwit

Ah, too late!

Nice winner though

Cheers Mackers - I got to see very, very little this time but it was nice to drop into the few times I managed

Purgative

Great comp Mack , as ever, and a worthy winner. Thanks for all the legwork.

quickbeam

Thanks Mack, great tournament. Learned a lot too.

Uncharted

A worthy winner.

Even if it does resemble half a goldfish :pac:


Massive respect to you Omackeral for another EXCELLENT tournament.

Fair play man. 10/ 10.

ari101

Thanks Mack, I'm happy with that winner, even if I voted for the runner up.
I enjoyed these flags and finding meaning in the interesting shapes

Just a reminder that this happened in the Shizouka Prefecture. I'm disappointed in all of you that voted for it.


Thanks Mack, another interesting tourney.
