THE KINGFISHER IS A SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED BIRD WITH BRIGHT COLORED FEATHERS FOUND IN THE TROPICAL REGIONS OF ASIA. THE BIRD’S JAPANESE NAME IS KAWASEMI, TRANSLATING TO “RIVER CICADA”. THE KINGFISHER SYMBOLIZES GOOD FORTUNE AND A FERTILE HARVEST. IT’S CONNECTED TO JUPITER, WHICH IS SYMBOLIC OF ABUNDANCE AND WEALTH. FOR THOSE WHO FEEL THEY ARE A MAGNET FOR NEGATIVE OCCURRENCES, KINGFISHERS ARE KNOWN TO ALTER ONE’S FORTUNE FOR THE BETTER. 
THE KENJI CHARACTER MEANS BOTH KINGFISHER AND JADE. ITS NAME ALSO DENIES A SKILLED DIVER AND AN INSECT FOUND ON THE BANKS OF RIVERS. ARTISTS AND POETS HAVE BEEN FASCINATED BY IT AND HAVE CELEBRATED IT IN THEIR WORK. THE KINGFISHER CAN FLY IN THE AIR AND DIVE INTO THE WATER AND SWIM. THE FEATHERS AND THE CREST OF THE BIRD REPRESENTS THE BLUE SKY AND GREEN OF THE DEEP WATER. NOTABLY, THE ENGINEERS WHO DESIGNED THE SHINKANSEN BULLET TRAIN WERE INSPIRED BY THE ANGLE OF PENETRATION OF THE KINGFISHER INTO THE WATER. MADE IN EARLY 2000S BY FAMOUS ARTIST MICHIFUMI KAWAGUCHI
