The word "Sanga" is a sanskrit term meaning "group" or "club", often used to denote Buddhist congregations. This reflects Kyoto's rich tradition of Buddhist temples (see sangha). "Purple" describes the colour of the team uniforms, which is also an imperial colour reflecting Kyoto's status as Japan's ancient imperial capital city. It has been decided that, from 2007, the team will simply been known as "Kyoto Sanga", dropping the "purple" from its name. Sangha is a word in Pali or Sanskrit that can be translated roughly as association or assembly. It is commonly used in several senses to refer to Buddhist or Jain groups. ...
