The Kamikaze Kanji writing on the side of the ring are symbols that refer to the Great Typhoon Kamikaze that destroyed the Mongol fleets that tried to invade Japan on two occasions.

The Kamikaze (神風, Japanese for divine wind), were two winds or storms that are said to have saved Japan from two Mongol fleets under Kublai Kahn. These fleets attacked Japan in 1274 and again in 1281. Due to growth of Zen Buddhism among Samuraiat the time, these were the first events where the typhoons were described as \"divine wind\" as much by their timing as by their force.

The first invasion devastated the Japanese. The battle took place on the beaches where the two forces met. The Mongols had several advantages; the Japanese were overwhelmed and began to retreat. Not knowing they had won, the Mongols feared the Japanese were coming back with reinforcements and also retreated, taking the land force on board and putting out to sea at nightfall to avoid being marooned by the oncoming typhoon. By daybreak, only a few ships had not set out to sea. Those that had, met their doom at nature\'s hand.

During the time period between the first and second invasion, the Japanese prudently built two-metre walls to protect themselves from future invaders.

Seven years later, the Mongols returned. Unable to find any suitable landing beaches due to the walls, the fleet stayed afloat for months as they depleted their supplies and searched for an area to land. After months of being exposed to the elements, the fleet was destroyed by a great typhoon. The Japanese called it \"kamikaze\", and the Mongols never returned.

The name given to the storm, kamikaze, was later used during WW2 to describe the suicide pilots who would defend Japan from Allied forces. The metaphor difficult to translate (as in any from another language), meant that the pilots were to be the \"Divine Wind\" that would again sweep the enemyfrom the seas. This use of kamikaze has come to be the common meaning of the word.
