Fish

I'd like to add to the infobox the prefectural fish (puffer fish), the prefectural beast (Honshu deer), and the prefectural song ("Yamaguchi-kenmin no uta").

Also, while a graphic of the prefectural symbol is currently included in the infobox, that graphic alone is too abstract to understand at a glance. It comes to life when you know that the symbol combines the two kanji for 'Yamaguchi', and is a stylized depiction of a bird flying towards the sun, representing unity and progress. The symbol also serves as the prefectural flag, which might not be immediately obvious from just the label "prefectural symbol".

Also might be good to include the dates when these various prefectural tokens were formally defined/announced -- most were defined in the 1960's.

Any suggestions on how to work this material in?
