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 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.
