Beneath the ancient tree, a figure sits in stillness. The light does not come from above. It glows from within. The kanji 由 speaks of reason— the quiet “why” behind every step. Not merely where we began, but what moves us forward. Before action, before decision, there is a question. "由" captures that silent core— the inner cause that shapes our path.
