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
