offer us another exquisite piece of revered symbolism from Japanese culture with the Pine Crane Daisho Set.  The red-crown crane holds profound respect and power in the Japanese mythos believed to live for a thousand years.  As a symbol of authority,  a Japanese idiom says,  “one word from the crane”  referring to the final word that isn’t challenged.  Marrying the symbolism of the pine tree,  another icon of power,  longevity and wisdom,  Shinto beliefs state that the gods of heaven reside in the ancient pines.  Often used in wedding attire,  the red-crown crane mates for life which make sense to pair this theme with a matching katana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pine Crane motif carries throughout both pieces in stirring flows of earth tones.  The embossing on the bronzed steel tsuba,  fuchi and kashira is so finely detailed echoing life in art.  The brown cotton ito (handle wrap) is beautifully contrasted by the white same (rayskin),  silver crane menuki,  seppa,  habaki and the bronzed fittings.  The 19 5\/8”  forged T10 blade boasts a gorgeously prominent hamon with a mirror finished ji and mune.  The 1 1\/4”  kissaki pierces quick and deep as the bill of crane. The textured dark brown saya contains all this majesty and power highlighted by the first 7”  black and matte striped paint with a charcoal and copper accented sageo and buffalo horn korikata and kojiri.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon King Swords","offers":[{"title":"Default

circular journey of enlightenment, the lotus seed starts its life in the muck before growing into a stalk to emerge from the muddy water to blossom.  As the bloom fades the maturing seeds fall back into the mud to continue the cycle of rebirth,  which is so beautifully depicted in our Lotus Seed Daisho set from Dragon King.  Like the lotus blossom the Lotus Seed Wakizashi transitions from various shades of violet from the wrapped cotton ito (handle wrap) to the the gold and purple sageo (cord) on the smooth deep,  dark lacquered saya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper seeds accent the blackened furniture throughout the handle.  The immaculately detailed budding seed pod following the shedding of its pedals centers the entire piece.  Silver dragonfly menuki,  seppa and habiki splash highlights across the 7\"  tsuka.  The 19 3\/8”  forged T10 blade features a midare or irregular hamon (temper)  line much like the path of life with its ups and downs.  The wakizashi completes the motif with a bold statement both physically and metaphorically without being audacious in design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg
