To commemorate the construction of the Iwate Prefectural Office, a public contest was held to create a new symbol for Iwate, and the crest was announced on 10 November 1964 under Шаблон:Nihongo.[1] The symbol itself is a vertically symmetrical adaptation of the Chinese character , pronounced iwa, as in Iwate.

The flag itself was instituted on 6 March 1965. It consists of a grayish blue background with the Iwate crest centered in white.
