| Theme |
| The theme of KAIYUKAN is based on the concepts such as Ring of Fire and Ring of Life. |
 |
RING OF FIRE
(Circum-Pacific Volcanic Belt)
The red ring indicates the active earthquake and volcanic areas that encircle the Pacific Ocean.
RING OF LIFE
The green areas indicate the concentration of ocean life. The lighter the color, the higher the concentration.
Gaia Hypothesis
The above concepts of Kaiyukan follow a part of Gaia Hypothesis advocated by Dr.James Lovelock. This hypothesis includes "a theory of the Earth as a living organism - where the evolution of the species and their material environment are tightly coupled but still evolve by natural selctions -.(THE AGES OF GAIA, Preface xix, by James Lovelock)"
