The previous prefecture flag was adopted on Dec 14th 1957 by Notice No 774
which was green flag charged with gold prefecture emblem in the center,
However on Dec 27th 1988 the field color was changed to white and
the emblem color to green. The center of the former emblem was round form
in stead of triangle.
