Notes: In the samurai imagination, the tiger and the waterfall form a powerful symbolic duo, often depicted together in Japanese art.
The tiger embodies brute strength, indomitable courage and the warrior's instinct in the face of danger.
The waterfall, meanwhile, symbolizes purity, movement and perseverance. Its relentlessly falling water is a reminder of discipline. It is also associated with purification of the spirit.
Together, the tiger and the waterfall express the balance between power and mastery.
