Description

From right to left, the three characters here translate to "Working with Right Principles." Takaki Seiu stressed righteousness, quoting the scholar Mao’s footnote to poems in The Book of Songs, the oldest Chinese classical poetry anthology. The phrase can also allude to advising others with the right principle.
