The city emblem was adopted on Mar 6th 2006 by Notice No1 but there is no flag law. The white flag has a green, a blue , a pink and a red four color city emblem in the center. The 4-leaf green clover with the city name in white stands for a harmonious integration of the former four towns and villages, the cherry flower for the citizen walking forwards in good spirit and the blue center of a flower for Sanada family crest of six coins. As a whole, it represents the city’s vibrant development for the future with its nature.
