| The theme of this Tsuba is Botan Jishi, Peony and Sacred Lion. According to legend, sacred lion is a very powerful animal. However, it has one weakness. It has a bug living inside its stomach bringing it some discomfort. To get rid of this pest, it sleeps under the peony, as the morning dew drops of the flower get absorbed by the animal and gets rid of the annoying bug. |
