The height of the emblem is actually 46/72 of the height (46/100 of the fly). According to the town website (links in Japanese), the emblem is a stylised katakana ta タ, the outer ring symbolising a harmonious town and the inner circle depicting the morning sun, symbolising unlimited development. The emblem symbolises bright harmony and the town rapidly expanding (?).

Well, the flag of the town of Tagami is already reported, but I found only this (3rd) version.

Does anybody know more about Tagami flag?

The flag law says: the color of the field maroon or deep blue and the color of town emblem white or gold. So possibly there are four different types.
- white on maroon,
- gold on maroon,
- white on deep blue,
- gold on deep blue.
