The white flag has a blue, a red , a yellow and a white four color flag emblem in the center which is different from the city emblem of simlply stylized katakana カノヤ Kanoya. The blue color stands for the southern country’s clear sky, the sea and Osumi Peninsula, the red circle for a developing city with katakana city name in yellow inside.
