The city emblem was adopted on Dec 1st 2007 by Notice No 1 but there is no flag law.
The white flag has a blue, a green and an orange three color city emblem in the center.
The city emblem is stylized hiragana み Mi and kanji 九 Kyu of MinamiKyushu.
The blue color stands for the fresh streams, the sea of abandunce, the green color for a rich nature,
the orange color for a fertile earth and a vigor. The curved lines symbolize an imaginative power, a vigor and
the town of a pure relaxation.
As a whole, it represents the town in a harmony with nauture.

I am pretty sure that is it white - as a matter of fact, some of sources sent
along with the message about that flag also seem to show a white flag.
