Choshi city in Chiba Prefecture adopted its emblem on 15 January 1934 by
Notice No 3 (in Japanese)
Four stylized kanji Cho 丁 with a sun in the cnter.
No flag legislation but they use following flag as practice:
flag proportion: 2:3; colour of field: purple; colour of emblem: white; diameter of emblem: 3/5 flag height

The adoption notice says nothing about the symbolism. The
symbols page explains
that the emblem has the rising sun in the centre, surrounded by four (shi)
kanji cho 丁 (counter for leaves, blocks, cakes; even number, …).
(The kanji end up looking like the spokes and rim of a wheel.) Choshi is
in the extreme east of the Kanto region, and the first to see the rising
sun. In the emblem, Choshi boldly developing together with the rising sun
is depicted.

For City of Choshi just color correction.
