異 - Uncommon
In ancient Japan, seeing a Rice Paddy arranged in a strange pattern 'together' with odd markings was considered Uncommon and a sign of something extraordinary. The word 異 also gave rise to words like 'ibun' (strange tale), tying the odd pairing of Together and Rice Paddy to the idea of rarity or peculiarity.
