This tsuba (鍔) gently reminds us that no one is exempt from making a mistake.
No matter how much knowledge we have, if we do not constantly practice what we know, it will only be that: something we know, but in practice we will not know how to apply, opening the door for mistakes to occur.
Being wrong is not bad at all, but not accepting it and not having the courage to correct yourself is undoubtedly a defeat.
Saru mo ki kara oshiru (猿も木から落ちる) “Even monkeys fall from trees”
hold on to the branches of constant training!
David.
