What is the meaning behind the KY crest signature seal?
The background of the KY Square Signature Seal Crest (Edition 2018 Version) and KY Round Signature Seal Crest (New Edition 2019 Version) tells a story about Kaneda Yoshida and his transition journey as a transgender man.
...before I went through my gender marker change one year into my transition, I was doodling my signature and practicing my penmanship for my name, Kaneda Yoshida....I even saved all my scribbling notes on how I wanted it to look like before I turned it into an official graphic signature seal with my name in Japanese calligraphy and initials along with my website and copyright details. When I created my signature, not sure if anyone seems to notice this but I sign a lower case "y" entrailed to a lowercase "k" that is bound and connected in a loop followed by the rest of my name in cursive. My initials KY or YK is a self-made, self-brand signature seal and logo that I have full rights too, it's my signature and my own self-made signature crest. In this graphic, the initial "Y" is upright and "K" is upside down to represent feminine positive energy which is the "Y" and masculine negative energy which is the upside down "K" which represents the transgender aspect of me, like the energy in the Chinese feng-shui. The Japanese calligraphy translations for Yo-Shi-Da (吉田) means "lucky rice field" and the Japanese calligraphy for Ka-Ne-Da (金田) means "golden rice field" so that's a lot of lucky golden rices to my full name and well, rice is the staple diet in Asia.
