The Daishō sword pair Tokuni is a particularly noble version of the John Lee Dragon Katana. The Dragon Katana takes the symbolism of the dragon (tsuba and ornamental rate). In many cultures around the world, the dragon is considered a powerful primordial animal and magical hybrid and mythical creature. Dragons are the symbol of beauty, immense power, earth energy and its renewal, imagination and vigilance. The warrior connects with the dragon. BEING ONE - without will and in absolute purposelessness, dragon and warrior enters into an eternal union - on the path of the great.
