The Art of Peace 97

The Art of Peace can be summed up like this: 

True victory is self-victory; let that day arrive quickly! 

“True victory” means unflinching courage; “self-victory” symbolizes unflagging effort; and “let that day arrive quickly” represents the glorious moment of triumph in the here and now.

Honda Tadakatsu (本多 忠勝, March 17, 1548 – December 3, 1610)Was one of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings. It is said that he fought 60 battles and was never injured once.Tadakatsu fought with the legendary spear Tombo-Giri.The Tonbokiri (蜻蛉切) is one of three legendary Japanese spears created by the famed swordsmith Fujiwara Masazane, said to be wielded by the daimyō Honda Tadakatsu, a leading general of Tokugawa Ieyasu.The spear derives its name from the myth that a dragonfly landed on its blade and was instantly cut in two. Thus tonbo (Japanese for “dragonfly”) and kiri (Japanese for “cutting”), translating this spear’s name as “Dragonfly Cutter”.
