flag was adopted on October 1, 1952 during the Showa (Hirohito's posthumous name)
era. A specified color is supposed to be used on the symbol and the flag. In the

Before the current prefectural flag, another flag was in semiofficial use
for some time (c. 1975-1977?). Flagmaster reported it in blue but Nozomi
Kariyasu has the information and flag was in fact green (seems to be a shade
of green olive medium).
