The Flag

flag proportion: 2:3; colour of field: purple
Colour of emblem: white; diameter of emblem: 6/10 flag height; a stylized hiragana Ito いと
Nozomi Kariyasu, 25 February 2006

The emblem is described as the hiragana i い to と forming a circle. To me it looks like it could be made of either character, rather than both together. The circle signifies the citizen's aspirations, harmony and unity, while the flapping wings at the top are a symbol of rapid development/growth. The designer was a Satao Sato/Saio/Saito (?) of Saga prefecture, Nishimatsuuragunnishiarita town, Yamaya/Yamadani/Yamatani.
The image seems to be missing the "break" at the bottom of the circle.

The flag of Itoman is already reported, but mark is not quite alright.
