The Flag

The flag of the city of Iwaki is maroon with mark. I found too variants.

The city emblem was adopted on Oct 1st 1967 by Notice No 135 but there is no flag law. The maroon flag has a white city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized hiragana い I of Iwaki. It represents a development, a collaboration, a solidarity, a happiness and a peace of the city.
I asked Iwaki City General Affairs Section about the color of the flag field today. They use maroon only. The dark brown in the photo might be caused due to light condition.
