The Flag of Kobe, Japan, is the official symbol representing the city of Kobe. It consists of a white field divided into three horizontal stripes, with the city emblem placed centrally. The top and bottom stripes are wider than the middle one. The emblem features an open book symbolizing knowledge and learning, a rising sun representing the city’s bright future, and a five-petaled flower signifying growth and development. Adopted in 1924, the flag has since served as a powerful visual representation of Kobe’s history, culture, and spirit.
