The town emblem was adopted on Apr 1st 1971 but there is no flag law. The 
purple flag has a white town emblem in the center. The town emblem is a stylized 
katakana シ Sho of Showa. The circle stands for a solidarity of the people and 
peace and the sharp edge in the center is a straight symbol of the rapid 
development of the industry and the culture and at the same time makes a form of 
Mt. Fuji.
