Some history and the emblem are explained at
http://www.town.sakawa.kochi.jp/life/dtl.php?hdnKey=693
The town was developed by a daimyo's minister named Fukao during the Edo period
as a castle town and a town of learning. In the emblem, the top part is a crown
(garland), as an appropriate image for a place of education and a place born of
an imperial hero. The three lines at the bottom left show the kawa (川 river)
of the name Sakawa.
It is said to be appropriately symbolise the town's rapid advancement, the
residents' welfare and increase in health, and making a rich, bright, liveable,
peaceful home.
