According to prefecture website (translation
informed by brief English description at symbol page),
the emblem symbolises the waves of the Pacfic Ocean, representing the
prefecture's attention to international relations, using stylised
hiraganaˇ (あいち Aichi). The emblem was chosen
from 1600 entries to a nationwide competition.

Interestingly, I found an an order
from 21 November 1900 regarding a 2:3 white flag with a red
six-armed cross, to be used by vessels undertaking work for the Aichi
Prefecture Fisheries Research Organisation. On the diagram, it is
described as white with a red kanji (㽥, water), being the
initial character of 水産 (Fishing/Fisheries).
