They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say, Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor. -The Last Samurai
I have noticed how many of the ancient characters were serpents:
- Rainbow serpent - Feathered serpent - Serpent in the garden of Eden - Isis is shown as serpent - Nagas were/are serpents - Apopis - the white serpent god (Japan).
I just found an image on Google, which is of the print I have on my office wall. I have a postcard of it on the other side. Paul once told me he saw two red serpents looking at me - spooked me out till some weeks later I realized what he had seen. Paul lives elsewhere and we have never met.. very impressive!
