         Mondokoro

         "Demon in the Shadows"  The mondokoro of the
         Kurai Hitokage is black based to symbolize
         death and the underworld.  Within this orb are
         several swirls to represent the unknown paths of
         the afterlife.  Two colors are shown for the
         available paths.  The first is red which repre-
         sents anger, power and torment.  The purple col-
         ored swirls represent mystery and madness.  The
         yellow orb the rests at the top of the mondokoro                                                              C
