This
symbol is a Mon.
A mon is a Japanese family crest.
This particular mon is the sacred sword.
This motif is hand-painted repeatedly throughout the
kimono as a pattern.
She
studies the sacred sword in quiet meditation.
She readies her mind for the sounds of enlightenment.
Time stands still in her soul, she is Listening for Balance.
