The university emblem of Ueno Gakuen, adopted in 1925, is in the form of a cherry blossom with an octagonal ancient mirror called a hachiryo-kyo (eight-pointed mirror).
The cherry blossom is associated with Ueno, where the university is located, and represents the spirit of peace and love for spring. The eight-pointed mirror, one of the three sacred treasures, represents the spirit of purity, clarity, and clarity of mind, as well as a reminder to reflect on one's own mental functions and state of mind.
