The geography and administrative subdivisions of Japan have evolved and changed during the course of its history. These were sometimes grouped according to geographic position.

Each modern Japanese prefecture has a unique flag, most often a bicolour geometric highly stylised design (mon), often incorporating the characters of the Japanese writing system and resembling minimalistic company logos. A distinct feature of these flags is that they use a palette of colours not usually found in flags, including orange, purple, aquamarine and brown.
