The Flag

White coat of arms on dark purplish blue field. The coat of arms is a stylized Katakana character E エ which looks like a pigeon as a symbol of unlimited progress and peace. The disc form symbolizes people's cooperation and harmony. Coat of arms adopted 1 August 1965. Flag unlegislated.

For Edogawa ward I found two variants: purple and blue.

According to Edogawa ward, they have no flag law yet. There are some variation on flag color. Now they don’t use purple color but dark blue like the emblem in upper left of their website
Tomislav, can you use this color sample? http://www.colordic.org/colorsample/2058.html

But do they confirm that they have used purple?
This link gives me "Page not Found". Is it maybe limited to Japan only?
