Notice No 46. (links in Japanese)

The shape of noble phoenix in blue represents the city Nagaoka which is striving
to further develop as a regional core city with its own characters.
The ceremonial flag has gold fringe and gold kanji letters of Nagaoka city
長岡市.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 18 January 2006
As Nozomi says, the shape of the indomitable phoenix represents the city developing
without limit as a regional centre with charm/character. To me, it also looks
like a stylised kanji naga 長 (long, head/chief).
The ceremonial flag is 90cm x 120cm. The emblem's colour is light blue. The
simplified flag can be two sizes: 90x120cm or 180x240cm.
