    🔯 Seiman (五芒星 / Pentagram)

  • The Seiman is a five-pointed star that can be drawn in a single stroke.

  • It is associated with Abe no Seimei, a renowned onmyōji (master of yin-yang divination) from the Heian period.

  • The symbol represents protection, with the continuous line believed to prevent evil spirits from entering.

#️⃣ Douman (九字 / Lattice Symbol)

  • The Douman symbol resembles a lattice or grid pattern.

  • It is associated with Ashiya Dōman, a rival onmyōji to Abe no Seimei.

  • The lattice is thought to represent multiple eyes watching, serving as a protective charm against evil.

  • It is also connected to the kuji-kiri (nine symbolic cuts), a ritual used for protection and exorcism.

🌊 Use by Ama Divers

  • Ama divers, traditional female free divers in Japan, have used these symbols for protection.

  • The symbols are embroidered on their diving attire and equipment to ward off danger during their underwater activities.

  • This practice underscores the deep-rooted belief in the protective power of these symbols.

🧙 Connection to Onmyōdō

  • Both symbols are integral to Onmyōdō, the traditional Japanese esoteric cosmology combining natural science and occultism.

  • The Seiman and Douman symbols reflect the duality and balance central to Onmyōdō practices.
