The city emblem was adopted on Sep 1st 1970 by Notice No 8 but there is no 
flag law. The purple flag has a white city emblem in the center. The city emblem 
is a stylized hiragana お O of Obu in a circle. The emblem can read hiragana の No 
of Nogyo = agriculture, kanji 工 of 工業 Kogyo = industry and hiragana し Shi of 
shiogyo = commerce as well. The seven lines represent the former seven towns 
become one to develop and grow in peace.
