About This Design
Aikido Sangen Triangle Circle Square & Mitsudomoe T-Shirt
*Customization available
合気道 Kanji reads Aikido
The Mitsudomoe symbol represents a snake or a whirlpool, and spiral movement.
In Shingon Buddhism the Mitsudomoe design represents the cycle of life.
In Shinto the Mitsudomoe design is the crest of Hachiman, the Shinto god of war, which led to its popularity among warrior families in Japan.
The three joined tomoe in the mitsudomoe are often seen to represent the "sangen" or the "three origins" of the universe - Heaven, Earth and Man. Ueshiba said that Aikido could also be called the "Way of Accord between Heaven, Earth and Man".
The "sangen" are represented visually by the triangle ("Man"), the circle ("Heaven"), and the square ("Earth").
• The triangle represents "iku-musubi", the power of birth and creation, the gaseous dimension. It symbolizes initiative, the animal realm, and Masakatsu ("true victory"). Technically, the triangle represents entering and flowing movements ("Ryutai").
• The circle represents "taru-musubi", the enriching power, the liquid dimension. It symbolizes unification, the vegetable realm, and Agatsu ("victory over oneself"). Technically, the circle represents blending and soft movements ("Jutai").
• The square represents "tamatsume-musubi", the power that fixes the soul in the physical body, the solid dimension. It symbolizes form, the mineral realm, and Katsuhayahi ("victory with the speed of light", doing things so perfectly that time is no longer a factor). Technically, the square represents control and firm or "hard" movements ("Gotai").
"The triangle represents the generation of energy and initiative; it is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolises unification, serenity and perfection; it is the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for form and solidity, the basis of applied control."
"When the triangle, the circle and the square become one, it moves in spherical rotation together with the flow of ki, and the Aikido of sumi kiri ("total clarity of mind and body") appears."
- Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido

Creator Review
The durability and quality is great. I am very pleased. The tee has met all of my expectations and my grandson loves it! i made it for a Christmas gift to give to him.
Patrick plays the accordion very well! He said G-Ma I am going to wear it back to school the first day after the holidays! That really made me feel good and knowing that he really does love it! The colors did not run at all. Looks great! Looked exactly as online, but better in person.

Bella+Canvas Short Sleeve T-Shirt, Black, Adult L
We are wearing these matching shirts at our co-ed bach party as we share our last night together as single folks with our friends. The shirts are high quality and it's nice to have a female version of the male shirt so that it fits my body perfectly.
