Cherry Blossom Katana

The cherry blossom, or sakura, is a national symbol of Japan, and tradition holds that there is no greater glory for a samurai than to fall in battle in a field of cherry blossoms. This katana embodies a metaphor of the transience of life and death. The blackened crimson tones beautifully reflect this theme.
