Our sigil represents our origin of bridging Eastern and Western culture. A traditional western heraldic shield is crowned with a mantled Japanese bushi helm, with a charge of bamboo leaves and cherry blossom in a traditional Japanese mon pattern called a sasa-zakura. Properly, the heraldry is Quarterly purpure and sable, a sasa-zakura argent, and a bushi helm mantled argent, doubled purpure. The mixture of Eastern and Western influences is in line with our hope for cultural exchange.
