They say a purple flag is an official city flag.
The city emblem was adopted on Feb 20th 2006 by Notice No 1 but there is no flag law. The purple flag has a white city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized S of Shibukawa in form of Mt.Akagi, Mt.Haruna and Tone River. The center circle symbolizes a vigor, a power of concentration and a navel of Japan, middle of Japan. It represents an image of the city which is full of calm and contact and watch the future and cooperate with each other for a development.
