The city emblem was adopted on Oct 28th 2004 by Notice No 164 but there is no
flag law. The white flag has a blue, a red and a green three color city emblem
in the center. The city emblem is a stylized katakana ア A of Agano. The blue
color stands for an outgoing information on the people and the products from
Oasis city and a collaboration and a coexistence of the citizen, the red color
for a bright Sun of hope, the green color for a creativity to develop an
ideal tomorrow and outspread dreams and the future. As s whole, it represents an
image of the city which is bright and vivid.
