More about Yín

Phonetically matching the English word "In," the character Yín serves as your gateway to Asian cosmic philosophy:

  • Step into Light: Representing the "Dawn Hour" (3:00 AM – 5:00 AM), Yín marks the moment light breaks the darkness—a universal start for new beginnings.

  • Step into Power: Linked to the Zodiac Tiger, it invites protective energy and inner strength into your journey.

  • Step into Growth: Symbolizing a stretching bow and the arrival of spring, it marks the moment potential energy bursts into bloom.

The Crest of Connection:

Heaven, Earth, and Humanity

Inspired by the "Mitsu-kashiwa" (Three-Oak-Leaf) motif,
our museum crest symbolizes "protection and succession"—
where old leaves only fall once new buds have matured.


Heaven in the Mitsu-kashiwa
Human in the Mitsu-kashiwa
Earth in the Mitsu-kashiwa
