The Flag

The city emblem was adopted on Dec 18th 1960 by the Notice No 16 but no flag law. The green flag charged with the white city emblem in the center. The flag proportion 2 : 3. The city emblem is a stylized kanji 岩 IWA. The open form towards to the top expresses the leap development of the city.

I sent two different green imeges to Iwanuma City general affairs section who confirms they use a lighter shade of green flag. So no need to replace the image.
