The city emblem was adopted on Oct 1st 2005 by Notice No 1 but there is no flag law. The white flag has a blue city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized kanji 鶴 Tsuru (crane) of Tsuruoka. The upper part symbolizes a crane and the lower part chevron does Three Mountains of Dewa. It represents an exponential development.
