The Flag

Matsudo city in Chiba Prefecture adopted its emblem on 27 December 1949 by Notice No 52 (in Japanese). A stylized katakana Matsudo マツド. No flag legislation but they use following flag as practice: flag proportion: 2:3; colour of field: dark green; colour of emblem: white; diameter of emblem: 3/5 flag height.

The adoption notice does not say anything about the symbolism of the emblem, simply mentions that it should be black on white or gold on black, I think. I have to admit that I cannot see the katakana in the emblem. To me it looks like two birds flying away from the centre of the emblem.

For city of Matsudo I found more greener flag.
