Sanyō 三曜: this pattern of three small circles, which are arranged like the rectangles of the character 品, is supposed to represent the three stars that line up in the center of the constellation Orion. Sanyō 三曜 is a symbol of the god of war; in the top center there is a “generalissimo star” (taishōgunboshi 大将軍星) flanked by two stars on the left and right, namely by a “general to the left” (sashōgun 左将軍) and a “general to the right” (ushōgun 右将軍).
