Notes : Among the samurai, the sun and moon occupy a profound symbolic place, linked to the worldview and values of the bushidō. The sun, often associated with Japan itself, represents strength, honor and clarity of action: it embodies the warrior's courage and righteousness. The moon, more discreet and changeable, symbolizes reflection, introspection and self-control. Together, they reflect the balance sought by samurai between power and serenity, action and wisdom.
