Matsusaka city adopted its emblem and flag on 1 January 2005 by
Notice
No 1 (link in Japanese). Flag proportion: 2:3. colour of field: blue, colour of emblem: white; stylized katakana Ma マ.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 16 January 2006
A notice concerning the adoption of the emblem and flag is at the
city website
(link in Japanese). The emblem appears on the flag in white on a navy blue (DIC893, CMYK
c=100%,M=75%,Y=10%) background. The emblem's height is 17/35 the height of
the flag, and its width is 19/28 of the height of the flag. The emblem is
centred horizontally on the flag, but is moved 1/140 of the hoist towards
the top.
The emblem consists of a single stroke looking vaguely like an oval "Q",
with a circle taken out from the stroke opposite the part of the stroke
which cuts through the oval. While I can see how it could be a stylised
katakana ma, as Nozomi says, I couldn't see any reference to this, or any
other symbolism.
