Spring Sakura Katana

Japanese history teaches us that there was no greater glory for a samurai warrior to fall in battle in a field of scattered cherry blossoms. Like the swordsman and samurai, the cherry blossom, explodes brilliantly and gorgeously in the Spring but then soon falls. This is a beautiful Japanese metaphor of the transience of life and an honourable and meaningful theme for Dragon King’s Spring Sakura Katana.
