The city emblem was adopted on Oct 1st 2005 by Notice No 1 but there is no flag law. The white flag has a blue city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized kanji 鶴 Tsuru (crane) of Tsuruoka. The upper part symbolizes a crane and the lower part chevron does Three Mountains of Dewa. It represents an exponential development.

The design is based on the hiragana characters for “Fujishima,”ふじしま with the wings symbolizing the town’s development and progress. The town’s name in kanji is written in white at the bottom.
