One Word Japan
The official logo of this site and the One Word Japan channel
The logo combines the Japanese character 和 (wa — harmony), an ensō circle (a Zen symbol of wholeness and calm), and a sakura blossom. Together they represent the channel's focus: explaining a single Japanese word and the culture it carries.
