Description

In the fine arts, various authors turned to the image of the samurai and gave him their own interpretation. In her painting, the artist depicted a samurai defeating the serpent. The katana sword is the very samurai soul of the Serpent symbolizes chaos. Victory over the serpent means overcoming of chaos, submission of the lower nature, ascension of the spirit over matter. And this confrontation does not necessarily have to happen outside. Sometimes the battlefield is the inner world of a person. Let us be such samurais at our hearts. Let us overcome our imperfections and rise above our previous imperfect state. And we will do this constantly, no matter how unattainable the ideal is. Samurai never stops, he always moves forward. He abandoned the goal. The path is all he has. He is what he is, because there is nothing else left for him. Snakes are also always reborn. They cannot be defeated once and for all. This fight is eternal.
