The village emblem and the flag were adopted on Oct 11th 2005 by Ordinance No
2. The green flag has a white village emblem in the center. The village emblem
is a stylized katakana チ Chi of Chikuhoku. The white color stands for its clean
and clear development and the green color for an abundant nature and people’s
conformity. The circle symbolizes a peace, an image of the open village
with blowing fresh winds and the villagers’wish for a reconciliation and a
solidarity becoming a vigor. It represents the village’s hope for the future and
a progress in a form of flying bird with spreaded wings. The flag proportion is
2:3.
