Explanation of the JKA-US North West and Pine Waves Logo
Logos are designed so others will immediately identify the
product, service, or organization. This logo is made of several
parts, a circle, a triangle and a disassembled square.
Here, the triangle represents the mountains throughout
the NorthWest. It also represents the “Western
Mountain” of Nishiyama Sensei. “Sankaku,”
appears in many Japanese philosophies.
The red circle represents the JKA-US;
“Maru,” appears in many Japanese philosophies.
The disassembled square forms the rivers and trees representative of the Pacific NorthWest. “Shikaku,” appears in many Japanese philosophies.
