Trademark \u2013 Shorinji Kempo Symbol and Logo \u2013
From \u534d (manji) to \u25cb\u25cb(so-en)!<\/span>
From the time of Shorinji Kempo\u2019s founding (1947) to 2004, the symbol mark was \u534d. In 2005, the new symbol mark was set as a response to its expansion throughout the world
(the emblem of shield with \u534d is still used as a symbol of Kongo Zen).<\/p>\n

The Meaning of the Symbol Mark:<\/span>
The center part of the symbol mark features two circles (so-en). One symbolizes mercy and love, and the other represents reason and power. The overlapping of the two circles represents unity.
The shields around so-en represent protecting truth, law, and justice. The four dots represent heaven, earth, yin, and yang found in the oriental philosophies. <\/p>\n

The Desire Attached to the Symbol Mark<\/span>
In Shorinji Kempo, it is considered that the state where all the elements represented in the symbol mark exist in harmony and unity should be the center of human thoughts and actions. This is the spirit of \u201criki ai funi (Mercy and justice cannot help others without power. At the same time, power cannot meet its full potential without pride and conviction)\u201d. <\/span>
\u25cb is the ultimate form of the former symbol of \u534d that represents an auspicious omen, the origin of human life, and ever-changing space. Its circular movement became so-en. <\/p>\n
