wealth.

The Phoenix Bird exists in numerous cultural mythologies ... Chinese (Fêng-Huang), Japanese (Ho-oo),
Egyptian (Benu), and Native American (Firebird). All of these birds are identified with the sun although
the typical notion is of a bird that periodically burns to ash then rises from its own ashes in beauty and

Samurai Warrior (Stylized)
The samurai (or bushi) were the members of the military class, the Japanese warriors. Samurai were
supposed to lead their lives according to the ethic code of bushido ("the way of the warrior"). Strongly
Confucian in nature, Bushido stressed concepts such as loyalty to one's master, self discipline and
respectful, ethical behavior. After a defeat, some samurai chose to commit ritual suicide (seppuku) by
cutting their abdomen rather than being captured or dying a dishonorable death.
Crossed Swords
Crossed Swords are a classic symbol. Pointing up is generally regarded as a signal of preparing for
battle, whereas pointing down signals the desire to have peace.
The Sword in The Stone)
Excalibur, the sword, embedded in stone is a favorite legend pertaining to King Arthur who was able to
remove the sword from the stone because he had the divine right to be King. Excalibur has, over time,
become a synonym for honor and quality.
