School History

Origin of the school emblem

The prefectural flower of Aichi Prefecture is the kakitsubata. This is derived from the Ise Monogatari, which is popular among the population, “The Ninth Dan of the East of the Emperor of the Nine Days” and the song “Du Waka”.
・・・・・ in the country of the three rivers, the eight bridges, and the place of the eight. If you are a spider in a river that goes by water, you will be able to make eight bridges. And he sat under the shade of a tree by the river, and ate dry rice. It blooms interestingly in the stream. When a person sees it, he says, “Put the five letters on the phrase, and soothe the heart of the journey.”
And if thou wilt be clothed, thou shalt come all the way, and thou shalt travel all the way, and thou shalt weep and weep ･････
Today, the Yatsubashi Bridge actually exists as the Mikawa Hachibashi, and there is a temple in the place where it is thought to be the actual Yatsubashi, and it is a historical site with a young tree planted in it. It is about 12 km south of the main school.
There is no other prefectural flower based on such an old historical and literary origin, and it can be said that it speaks to the climate of Aichi Prefecture and the interests of the people of Aichi Prefecture.
The school emblem was designed based on this young man. In addition, the basis of the design is the image of the coat of arms of Japan. The simplicity, stability, and power of the composition of Japan’s coat of arms have recently been reaffirmed by designers, and it seems that it is being questioned as a subject of lectures at art universities.
The school emblem did not simply reproduce the old coat of arms, but deformed it to give it strength, stability, purity, and youthfulness in a simple figure. Except for the letters inside, the fact that the drawing is the same from all three sides expresses a sense of stability and moderation, and the petals are made into three pieces, the pith is boldly divided into three thick parts, and Toyoda’s initials T are expressed.
