The village emblem was adopted on Sep 3rd 1968 by Notice No 23 and the flag 
was adopted on Nov 11th 1968 by Notice No 28. The green flag has a white village 
emblem in the center. The village emblem is a stylized katakana オ O of Otari 
which depicts a grand mountain and a fresh stream of rivers. The circle 
symbolizes the villagers concord, a solidarity and a cooperation and an image of 
the village making a leap for the future without limit. The white color stands 
for a snow and the cleanly village people and the green color for the nature and 
a hope for a development. The flag proportion is 2:3.
