The emblem features two stylised hiragana to combined in a circular design with 3 "wings" on each side. The circle symbolises peace and unity of the people through amalgamation, and the 6 wings the leaping development/growth of the city. The emblem was chosen from a public competition. The designer was a Mr Hideo Suzuki.

Most mentions of the flag on the city website appeared to be about "Challenge Day" sports events against another city, with the loser flying the opponents flag from the municipal office for a week.
