Meaning

Mirror image or reversed image

Represents reflection, introspection, and the idea of seeing things from another perspective.

Symbolism

Symbolizes self-reflection, duality, and balance between opposing forces or viewpoints.

Etymology: Derived from the Japanese words 'egao' meaning 'smile' or more likely 'e' (絵) meaning 'picture' or 'image' and 'kami' (神) meaning 'god', but more plausibly 'kami' (上) meaning 'above' or 'upper', though most accurately 'egami' (江上) combines 'e' (江) meaning 'inlet' and 'gami' (上) meaning 'above'—thus 'above the inlet'. However, when read as 'Egami', it can be interpreted as 'image mirror' (映身 or 画像) depending on kanji; commonly, it's a surname written as 江上.
