modern Okinawa
is enclosed within a symbol of the ancient Ryukyuan Kingdome consisting
of three yellow waves that circle a white region.The Okinawan emblem combines
symbols to represent the continuity of ancient Ryukyuan values within modern-day
Okinawa,and the concentric circles motif symbolizes,variously,the eternity
of Heaven and Earth,self-completion, equality, and peace.This whirling vision
of justice and peace,so central to the Okikukai philosophy,is also the confident
expression of the belief that the ancient Ryukyuan ethos continues and will
continue to enliven Okinawan life. |
