They say they officially use a white flag with a black city emblem however on celebratory occasions such as school entrance ceremony and coming-of-age ceremony they use a white flag with a maroon emblem.
The city emblem was adopted on Jun 28th 2005 by Notice No 91 but there is no flag law. The white flag has a black city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a modified banner of Nitta Family who ruled this area old days which is called 大中黒 Onakaguro meaning a wide "black" horizontal striped white banner. The emblem has a kanji city name in white at the lower right side. It represents a spirit of inherited tradition and an innovation.
