The mark consists of Chinese characters in stylized form, against a background design of clouds above a design of curved lines.
The three Japanese characters are in the writing method called "kanji". The left-most character is "ji", the center character is "nen", and the right-most character is "kan". The exact English translation is "nature-great hall". The first two characters, "ji nen", translate as "nature" and the third character, "kan', is "hall" or "great hall".
