White stylized Kanji character of Gun of Gunma and three white crescents
which stand for three mountains Mt. Akagi, Mt. Haruna and Mt. Myougi on purple
colour. Purple was selected as refined coulour which is believed to be
suitable for Gunma which has lots of cultural inheritance. Adopted 25 October
1968.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 6 May 1998
The construction sheet says "Purple, hue number 21, brightness 12-13, chroma 5-6".
Sounds like Munsell, but I didn't think purple hue no. 21 made sense in that system.
The kanji 群 (, 'gun' - group) in the centre is drawn as determined in the
law
establishig the prefectural emblem in 1926. (In the emblem, the kanji is surrounded
by mainly triangular mountain shapes.)

The prefecture emblem was adopted on Oct 1st 1926 by Notice No 328. The
emblem is stylized ancient kanji Gun of Gunma "in three mountains". The
prefecture flag was adopted on Oct 25th 1968 by Notice No 553. The flag
proportion is 2: 3. The kanji Gun in the flag is not surrounded by mountains.

Gunma has a multi-color logo on a white background. According to
the Gunma Sports Association, the symbol is derived from the Katagana character "Gu" and shows a bright and dynamic sports culture in the prefecture. Blue stands for the body of sports and how
competition is healthy and spirited, red is passion and green expresses youth and extended health.
