The former flag of the Japanese Para-Sports Association was used as the logo of the 1964 Paralympics and continues to be the symbol-mark of the organization after the adoption of the 2015 logo. The dove represents love and the formation of the wheels and spokes show the letter "V", the sign and call for victory. The rings/spokes also represent the people of the world. For the flag, this symbol is on a green background. (Source)

The symbol mark was adopted at the 1964 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. The five wheels represent the wheelchair and the rings connecting with people of the world. The star in the center represents hope, and the array is V-shaped to represent victory, over life. The white dove represents love.

The National Disabled Sports Festival (全国障害者スポーツ大会) is similar to the Kokutai in scope but was adapted for Paraathletes. The logo consists of a formation of "21" and shows athletes racing, flying and swimming. The four colors showcase the regions of Japan and also four elements (Hokkaido - Blue (ocean), Honshu - Green (Earth), Shikoku - Yellow (light), Kyushu and Okinawa - Red (Sun)). The interlocking of the elements shows deep cooperation with the athletes and the country at large. (Source) As for the flag, this symbol is on a white background.
Zachary Harden, 23 July 2018

The symbol mark is based on 21 meaning the 21st century and depicts people with disabilities running, jumping, and swimming. The four colors are blue for the sea and Hokkaido, green for the earth and Honshu, yellow for light and Shikoku, and red for the sun and Kyushu. It symbolizes the leap into the future of National Sports Festival for People with disabilities as a place for interaction between peoples and the communities.
