the name
Temmon might seem like—and probably is—a strange name for a company. But there is a reason for it's use; mainly that it gives you a couple of clues to the man behind it ...
clue 1: japanese
The word “temmon” has it's basis in the japanese word temmongaku (see below). This tells you about my connection to Japan. Mostly through my many years spent learning and teaching martial arts (many of them japanese in origin). Oriental philosophies (mainly zen and taoism) and books (see sidebar) also strengthens this connection.
clue 2: astronomy
Temmongaku is japanese for “astronomy”, and astronomy is the basis for my scientific education. Specifically studies in cosmology, and the nature of time. Although it's been years since this was my main focus, I still use my knowledge to teach young schoolchildren (ages 6–9) about the wonders of the universe whenever I get the chance.
extra clue: the symbols
The way the japanese (and chinese) write tends to give extra meaning to whatever the words are communicating. In my case, the word temmon consists of the kanji (symbols) for ten and mon:
 |
tencan mean sky, heavens, celestial sphere, destiny |
 |
moncan mean crest, figures, text |
Or like I like to say it:
Understanding what is written in the heavens; forecasting the future
