Hinode town adopted its emblem on 1 June 1974 by Notice 10. No flag legislation but the above is used in practice.
flag proportion: 2:3
colour of field: purple
colour of emblem: white; diameter of emblem: 3/5 flag height; a stylized hiragana Hi ひ.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 10 April 2006
The hiragana hi ひ is accompanied by an arc to
form a circle and the resulting logo bears a resemblance to the kanji
hi 攵. The legislation does not describe the emblem in terms of
either character, or say anything about the symbolism.
