Kachi-mushi

The word Kachi-mushi was used in the days of the Samurai to refer to the dragonfly. Its literal meaning is The bug that wins
or The victory insect
. Dragonflies never retreat and always fly forward.
The Samurai go forth into battle. Clad in armour, a dragonfly proudly affixed upon their helmets and swords. The noble Kachi-mushi guiding them in the hunt for prey.
