From  http://www.vill.okawa.kochi.jp/gaiyo.html:
The yellow star represents the kanji 大 (大 water /ō/ - first character of Okawa) and also has the meaning of the Big Dipper ('north dipper'), for the village's location as the northernmost point of Kchi prefecture, due north of Kochi city. In the centre in green (background colour) is the kanji 川 (川 river /kawa/ - second character of Okawa).
