祈武運長久 on top

with bushido writings

If one intends to serve one’s lord, one must fully uphold righteousness — that is the way of the warrior.
The life of a soldier on the battlefield is like the mountain cherry blossoms, whose fate is unknown by tomorrow.


though I am prepared for what tomorrow may bring,
for the sake of those who come after,
I will strike down (the enemy) first—
this is the way of the warrior.”
signed Kurokawa Yoshio
