From the Kisarazu website

The city emblem of Kisarazu is based on (ki, meaning tree), the first character in Kisarazu. The circle represents the port, and the opening at the top the port entrance. Together they represent the solidarity of the people of the city and its development. The emblem was decided on after inviting suggestions from the public on the fifth anniversary of Kisarazu becoming a city (adopted on December 22, 1947).
