Font representing the Genji-mon (so called because they were used to mark each chapter of the world’s first novel, the Genji monogatari), a system of symbols which indicate all the possible groupings and subgroupings of five elements.
They were used in kumikō, a japanese ceremony/game about guessing different types of incense by smell.
The number of all combinations of five elements is 52, but I reproduced the 54 symbols used to mark the Genji monogatari chapters, which contain the same symbol in two variations and a made-up one as well.
I did the font because I think it was perfect for Fontstruct. But if you need something more polished, and in four different styles, there is it.

This fontstruct contains ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, and Mayan number symbols. It works in Open Office on PCs, and in Neo Office on macs. Since it contains symbols please disable WYSIWYG font menus.I've just moved all characters to baseline.
