Online puzzle Tomoe

A tomoe (Japanese: 巴, meaning "hoping" or "wishing"; also written 鞆絵 or ともゑ (tomowe) in its archaic form), is a Japanese symbol described as a swirl that resembles a comma or the usual form of a magatama.

The tomoe appears in many designs with various uses. In its simplest, most common patterns, simply containing one to four tomoe, are reminiscent of other patterns that can be found worldwide, especially in areas close to Japan. When circumscribed in a circle, it often appears in a set of three, with this design known as the mitsudomoe (三つ巴).
