Re: The Original Meaning of Aikido
No jokes from my side, either, but here´s an explanation (taken from - I believe - Lowry´s book called Sword and Brush"):
The parts symbolizing rice and steam mean to show that you cannot see energy/ki in itself, but you can however see it´s effect: it boils the rice and meks the steam rise.
