Flag of Meguro Tokyo Japan The 'Flag of Meguro Tokyo Japan' is a heraldic emblem representing the city of Meguro, one of the special wards (ku) that make up the metropolis of Tokyo. Adopted on June 1, 2003, it is flown to signify civic pride and unity within the ward. The flag consists of a white field divided into three horizontal sections by two equally spaced, black, wavy lines, symbolizing the Musashino Plain that Meguro lies upon. The upper and lower sections are further divided by two equally spaced, vertical, red lines, representing the four river systems flowing through the city: the Tamagawa, Tama, Setagawa, and Meguro rivers. The flag's central section features a stylized cherry blossom, a symbol of peace, renewal, and resilience, reflecting Meguro's commitment to harmony and growth. The cherry blossom is also a nod to the city's famous Hanegi Cherry Blossom Festival, one of Tokyo's most popular spring events. The flag serves as a visual representation of Meguro's unique geographical features, its rich history, and its vibrant cultural identity within Tokyo.
