Sun crows will lead the way

During my research into the lore of the three-legged crows, there were three mythological stories regarding them from China, Korea, to Japan. The main similarities between each country are that these three-legged crows represent the sun. Each crow on the design represents their country. Two golden crows represent China and Korea and the large black one represents Japan. There are 9 sunbeams around the sun to represent the 9 Chinese sun crows that were killed to stop the earth from burning in their rampage. The whole piece features the crows that represent the sun and their harmony between the sky, heaven, and earth.
