I heard the story of the person who voted. Masakatsu Kondo, a resident of Mitanda-cho, said, "Asagao, who is absorbed into life, is a flower that everyone can get acquainted with." "I wanted to make Asahi Ward even more refreshing, like the refreshing image of Asagao blooming in the morning," said Misako Takahashi, a resident of Kamishirane. "I chose my favorite fireflies because I was in Asahi Ward" (Masayuki Kaise, living in Ichizawacho). "I thought fireflies living in clean water would be worthy of the lush green Asahi Ward," said Midori Tenkai, living in Makigahara.
As a symbol of Asahi Ward, a residential city blessed with abundant nature, let's use the flowers of the ward = Asagao and insects of the ward = fireflies.
