Nozomi Kariyasu, 19 November 2005

Flag adopted 1992 Notice No 1. The flag use the emblem adopted on 1 April 1965 (notice no 6 (in Japanese)). The logo is made up of a stylised kanji numa 沼 (swamp/pond) forming a circle. This circle, together with a cross in the middle, forms the kanji ta 田 (rice paddy). The emblem symbolises harmonious human nature/kindness and the (balanced?) development/growth of the city.
