The Shōbukan logo mark is composed of a large and small circles that represent the flag of the Okinawa prefecture, the birthplace of karate and kobudō. The purple color symbolizes the proud and highly expanded royal family of the Ryūkyū Kingdom, symbol of the Okinawan tradition. The white means emptiness, empty as in karate (empty hand) and symbolizes the pursuit of the truth and the aim for self-completion in the spirit of “empty” as in the name of karate. The golden color in the center expresses the aim of complete quest of karate through the precious values of tradition.
