I don't know from plants, but I think you're right about the Jewel (
Yasakani no Magatama) being represented by the abdomen. Interestingly, the standard Jewel
looks like this, but Ueshiba's abdomen is perfectly round...
For Alan - there's some interesting stuff about symbolism inherent in the Kusanagi that Ueshiba used - but that's a work in progress.
For anybody who's confused, we're
talking about this. Ain't esoterica fun?
Best,
