  • THE GRAND HARMONIOUS SYMMETRY of JAPAN: an Investigation in Uncanny Flag Similarities Christopher J. Maddish

    THE GRAND HARMONIOUS SYMMETRY of JAPAN: an Investigation in Uncanny Flag Similarities Christopher J. Maddish

    THE GRAND HARMONIOUS SYMMETRY OF JAPAN: An Investigation in Uncanny Flag Similarities Christopher J. Maddish The 47 prefectures of Japan have unique flags, whose designs came from various sources. Many flags employ a stylized version of Japanese alphabet in either Hiragana or Katakana on a solid field. Like most sub‐national flags, they are strongly influenced by the national colors and design. Conventional wisdom assumes this process of sub‐national flag selection is a fairly random, yet attenuated to the cultural tastes the particular nation. The thesis of this paper is that a pattern can be found among the prefectural flags of Japan. The revolutionary and rather uncanny pattern is that each prefecture’s flag has a kind of “harmonious twin”. This paper will first describe the methodology of how flags are paired, followed by several illustrative examples. This is a new system of classification of flags based on groups limited to two. This paper’s title, the Grand Harmonious Symmetry of Japan, hints that the flags of Japan exhibit a certain degree of harmony and the title itself exhibits a subtle relationship to Japan. By way of uncanny historical, geographical, and cultural events a pattern of harmonious symmetry will be presented. On the left is the name of Japan written in Japanese as Nihon, literally translated as Sun‐ Source. The upper kaniji that looks like a digital eight means sun, the lower kanji means source, book, and root. To the right is the classical name of Japan, Yamato. The upper kanji means grand or big. The kanji on the lower right means harmony.

Baker III Institute for Public Policy • Rice University About the Event International Space Medicine Summit 2011 The International Space Medicine Summit 2011 (ISMS 2011) will bring together leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts, educators and space agency representatives from spacefaring nations for high-level discussions about research to prevent and/or mitigate the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges of long-duration spaceflight. As the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflights, ISMS 2011 seeks to stimulate and facilitate multinational collaborations that maximize research on the International Space Station to ensure the well-being of astronauts and cosmonauts on low-Earth orbit missions, as well as future expeditions beyond the Earth’s gravitational force. ISMS 2011 will build upon the success of the four previous summits by focusing on the identification of critical research priorities for the space station and by creating the operational agreements needed to establish successful, fully integrated, multinational research and exploration partnerships for the benefit of spacefarers and all of humanity. ISMS 2011 is committed to facilitating increased communication and cooperation among nations. Sharing and applying the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog environments, and implementing the resulting advances in technology and human knowledge, will protect future space travelers and enhance life on Earth. Organizing Partners James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, Rice University The mission of the Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.
