The Flag

The city emblem was adopted on October 1st 1958 but has no flag law. It is a white flag charged with blue city emblem in the center. The flag proportions are 2:3.
The city emblem is composed of a stylized kanji 大 O and katakana ツ TSU. 大 forms the flying bird and  ツ represents scenic Lake Biwa-ko. The two characters symbolize the progress and development of an international culture tourist city.
