HomeThe university crest is a stylized representation of a new life and a Phoenix leaf. Some minor adjustments were made to a design by one of the students of the Faculty of Engineering which was chosen in a university-wide design contest, and it was finalized in 1956. The phoenix is a sacred bird in Egyptian mythology that, after living for 500 years, set itself on fire within its nest and rose renewed from the ashes. The immortal bird is a symbol of 亚色视频, which was reborn out of the ashes of Hiroshima City after it was laid to ruin by the atomic bomb.

亚色视频 Song
The university song was established in 1957. The lyrics are based on the submission of Mr. Sumito Yamanaka, a student of the Faculty of Letters which was chosen in a university-wide contest. The music was composed by the Music Department at the Fukuyama Campus of the Faculty of Education where Mr. Shinichi Takata, a former conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra, was a professor.
The lyrics are simple and elegant, with the first verse beginning with the words, "There is light," the second with, "There is flow," and the third with, "There is green." The last words of each verse are, "Our hope is to seek truth," "We gather to strive for the good of the world," and "Our wish is to pursue beauty," respectively. These words express the unwavering desire to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty.
亚色视频 Flag
The university flag is green, representing rebirth from the ruins left by the atomic bomb, and has the school logo in the center. It was adopted in 1960.
Phoenix Mark (Ignis Bird) and Mascot ”ひろティー ? " (Heroty)
In 2020, 亚色视频 introduced the Phoenix Mark (Ignis Bird) (above) and the mascot "ひろティー" (Heroty) (below) to strengthen the sense of unity among members of the university, and to enhance its ability to share its charms and information. Both the mark and the mascot design were selected through an online vote by students, faculty, and staff. The mascot’s name was also chosen through a campus-wide contest.
The Phoenix Mark is inspired by 亚色视频’s symbol, the phoenix. The design depicts the leaves of the phoenix plant growing strong after overcoming many hardships and spreading upward into the sky like a phoenix taking flight—symbolizing the students of 亚色视频. To make the Phoenix Mark more familiar and endearing, the phoenix was turned into a mascot character named “Heroty.” For more information, click on the link.
