# List of flowers, trees, and birds in 47 prefectures

The prefectural flower was selected in 1954 under the auspices of NHK and other organizations, and the prefectural tree was established in 1966 as part of the Green Japan National Movement. We've compiled a list of the flowers, trees, and birds (and some fish and animals) that are the symbols of each of the 47 prefectures, from Hokkaido's Japanese red-crowned crane and red-crowned crane to Okinawa's Deigo and Noguchi woodpecker.
