<\/dt>\r\n\t
\r\n\t\"HIROSHIMA
\r\nThe orchestra\u2019s logo features the motif of a pigeon, a symbol of peace. The color theme of the logo is the same vermilion as the large torii (a gateway to a Shinto shrine) of the Itsukushima Shinto Shrine on Miyajima Island, a World Heritage site, and the orange of the autumn leaves of maple trees, which are a symbol of Hiroshima Prefecture. The wings of the pigeon are formed from the shapes of \u201cHSO\u201d, which stands for the \u201cH\u201diroshima \u201cS\u201dymphony \u201cO\u201drchestra.
