The university flag has light reddish purple background with a gold school mark and vertically written in gold kanji university name. The school mark was adopted on April 1, 1921. It is a combination of kanji 京都 "Kyoto" and a descending wisteria. It is said that the wisteria is derived from the temple emblem of the Honganji sect of the Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, which is reminiscent of a humble woman in its light purple blooms with the head of the wisteria leaning down.
