For Ota ward I found just blue and black mark.

Ota ward says there is no flag law yet. There are some variant flags. Now they use dark blue flag at their building. The photo might look black. They don't use purple flag now but sometimes they used white flag with dark blue emblem.

But did they use it in the past?
