The Flag

Minamiboso city Chiba Prefecture adopted its emblem on 2 December 2005. Seven flower blossoms representing the seven regions of the city. No flag legislation but they use following flag as practice: flag proportion: 2:3; colour of field: white; colour of emblem: green and red; diameter of emblem: 3/5 flag height.

I found a graphic manual for the city emblem, which also contained specifications for the city flag (pg. 12). It also permits the name of the city, in Japanese, to be placed at the bottom fly but also allows a monocolor version of the emblem, provided the background color is either green or red, andf the emblem is in white.Zachary Harden, 05 September 2026

I think here is also former flag of the town of Maruyama. It's blue with mark, but I'm not quite sure. What [do you] think?
