The emblem is described as a white hiragana sa さ, forming a circle, as the syllables
Shi-ra-sa-wa could be written 白さ輪 (white - sa -
wheel/ring/circle). The first stroke of the sa (which forms a line across
the top of the circle) is a folding fan, having in mind the harmony of the
village and unlimited growth of industry. The prosperity of the village is
also symbolised.
