This demonstration supports two-level (circle-on-circle) and three-level (circle-on-circle-on-circle) epicycloids. You can experiment with different radii and rotation rates for each circle. Some examples:

"When strangers take shelter under the same tree, they say, or draw water from the same river, it reveals a bond, a bond formed in their former lives. Surely the bond formed between the abbot and Tsunemasa was stronger still."

From Tsunemasa, a story from Japanese Noh. Retold by Kenneth Lawrence with Artwork by Kumiko Lawrence in our Summer 2017 Issue: "Happiness," available in bookstores and online.
