"Playful Dragon" decoration katana

Collector's Katana with black saya (鞘) decorated with a screen-printed dragon, tsuba (鍔) dragon, tsuka-ito (柄糸) and sageo (下緒) brown

My saya is decorated with a dragon. But it's not just any dragon. It's the "player" dragon. So nicknamed because he appears and disappears as he pleases, driving his victims to madness. He haunts the countryside to surprise isolated individuals. By night, he follows them, hunting them down and driving them to commit the irreparable. But make no mistake, this dragon is all play. As an eternal adolescent, he makes jokes that only he understands. A wise man tried to make him aware of the danger he was causing around him, but he didn't succeed. By dint of lessons and grandiloquent speeches, the dragon lost patience with the wise man, who had no solution but to withdraw from the world and hide in a gallery. Narrow and winding, it didn't allow the dragon to pursue him, but the only one who had tried to convert him to reason, to his reason, was nowhere to be seen. But in the end... who's right? The one who laughs at life, or the one who wants to legislate and impose?
