Worthwhile, Ocean Explanation: It's a little difficult to venture a guess without seeing the Japanese character(s), but it probably is either 甲斐 (Kai) or 海 (Kai). 甲斐 was the name of 山梨県 (Yamanashi Prefecture) in central Japan until Nov. 20, 1872 (see ref. below), and is a common Japanese last name. It means "worthwhile." 海 (Kai), on the other hand, means "ocean." Actually, I think might have seen this symbol on some Japanese consumer goods, but my recollection is a little fuzzy...
