てがみ

I wrote this letter for homework. I tried to make it like a real letter to a Japanese friend, but it probably has some stylistic errors. Writing letters is hard, even in English! The picture quality is a little low; sorry about that...

日本のけんのはた

日本のけんのはたにひらがなとかたかながありますよ。とてもおもしろくてきれいです。私はそのはたがだいすきです。
Take a look at these wonderfully designed flags for Japanese prefectures:

Miyagi prefecture flags has a stylized version of み:










So does Mie:









Fukushima's flag has a stylized ふ:









Hiroshima's flag has a stylized ヒ:









きれいなはたですね。
