The city emblem was adopted on Jan 14th 1955. The blue flag has a white city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized kanji 羽生 Hanyu in a form of wings and a chief part of a fan respectively. The circle symbolizes a solidarity and a peace. It represents an unlimited surge and a benediction.
