 About "Omusubi Capital VCC." 
Omusubi Capital VCC is an Umbrella Variable Capital Company (UVCC) in Singapore. The meaning behind the naming of “Omusubi” is that Striders will be the gateway connecting (“musubi – 結び”) strategic stakeholders to create a better and a more sustainable world. The happiness or the wellbeing resulted from a sustainable world is represented by food (おむすび, Omusubi or the rice ball). The triangular shape of the logo represents the share of a rice ball (omusubi) and inside the triangular shape represents “ume musubi” (ume knot).
