The emblem is a stylised kanji nishi 西 (west). The top stroke forms a arc above the rest, representing the citizen's harmony. The box part of the character forms a triangle, whose three sides symbolise the basic intentions of democracy: liberty, equality and fraternity. The other two strokes form a V shape, representing the development/growth of the town's self-government.

The diameter of the emblem is 5/9 the length of the hoist, and its centre is the same distance from the hoist.
