The emblem is a stylised hiragana i い, forming a circle. The 
central white part (blue on the flag) represents Bandai-san (a mountain) 
and the lower black part (white on the flag) represents Lake Inawashiro. 
The circle symbolises unity and the smooth development/growth of the town 
government.
	The emblem's centre is positioned 5/11 of the hoist from the top and 4/10 
of the length from the hoist.

Inawashiro Town general affairs section confirms the official flag has a 
white town emble towards hoist (not in the center) and the blue shade of 
Tomislav’s image is OK.
The town emblem is a stylized hiragana い I of Inawashiro. The circle symbolizes 
a solidarity and a peaceful development  of the town administration. The 
space inside the circle stands for Mt. Bandai and the lower part for Lake 
Inawashiro. The flag proportion is 2: 3. The length (not height) of the emblem is 
4/10 of the length of the flag.
