It is fascinating to see such striking similarities between different letter/symbol systems. The relation between all peoples is hard to deny when you put things like this side by side. I especially thought it was interesting that the Bronze symbol for woman bears a strong resemblance to the Kanji used for ocean, 海, in Japanese. Perhaps the association of the feminine with water is showing itself there.

I know that a lot was borrowed from Chinese text for Japan's Kanji system, but I have not studied Chinese yet and only have familiarity with the Japanese symbols.
