Out of curiosity I google image searched "ikigai torus" to see if anyone had made one, and got a few distinct things: A 3-circle shape being sold as jewelry that claimed to represent the concept, it being used as magic/mantra on new-agey sites, and one that straight claims that this diagram is a misrepresentation of the concept (but is also selling a workbook).

Now I can't help but wonder if this is one of those "those silly westerners" things, akin to gibberish or insulting Japanese/Chinese words as tattoos.
