Zip Code Flag for 90210


Zip Code Flags are based upon the zip code.  Basically the colours represent numbers.  The first part by the flag is the canton and support.  The coloured USPS style eagle with pink support represents the number 9.  The rest of the colours represent the other numbers of 90210.  In our case: white represent "zero"; orange represents "2", and red represents "1". 

Note that zip codes are fluid and do not always congeal with municipality needs, thus many people get their local geography in knot.  Subsequently most people get lost in the double speak of referring to place by its official geographic municipality boundaries and postal routes. 

In any case this the postal zip code flag for 90210.  Note that all of Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington all start with a number 9.  Thus all cantons of these states will be pink.

Blue and White Pennants from Whisper of the Heart 1997 or Mimi o Sumaseba 1995

Kono Eiga wa Ole no Nippon


Anyone who has lived in Japan will recognize that Studio Ghibli captured the essence of life in Japan.  I discovered this movie before the might of that magical mouse.  This post is for all my Kansai Gaidai Homies!

  Dreams really do come true.  Of vexillological note are the white and blue pennants found on an old sailing model vessel.   They can be seen on the tops of the masts.  

Here is the entire panorama you never get to see in the movie.  You're gonna have to slide to left or right to see the entire antique store.   Enjoy!


Sales Banners in Whisper of the Heart 1997

 A 100 yen (about 1 dollar) sale sign can be seen in the background.  It is yellow with red print.
 You can see awning banners in red in front of our heroine.
 Hard to see are the Train banners hanging from the middle of the cart. If you lived in Japan before the "Ketai Denwa" revolution you will recognize this film.
Here a store Keio has a long building banner-flag announcing that shopping is great.
