The Shinto Tomoe is a symbol that has analogy with the most famous Taoist symbol. As Tao in Chinese, there are two energies or principles, one female and one male, called Yin and Yang in Taoism and Shintoism in In respectively (female) and Yo (male).
interesting is the presence of a third symbol spiriforme, called by the Chinese and Japanese Yuan Musubi, which is explained by the pantheistic conception of the world or Shinto, or "Everything is God" and "God is Everything." In this conception of the universe is everything, and only divine manifestation, then this third component, which is generated by the first two, representing the universe in all its manifestations, and then the third principle is the manifestation of cosmic, or a component of energy-material. "
would wonder if this Shinto trinity has some analogy with the Trinity of Christianity certainly come in two completely different contexts, the West and Far East, and there is no equality between the terms Father, Son and Holy Spirit In Yo and Yuan. However, given as a unit and not separated into three components, all to the same truth converge.
