My entry for BabyD's "Honor of the Samurai" contest.

"The seeds of lotus flowers can sleep for a thousand years, and yet the buds still bloom."

That quote is from Yu Kanda from D.Gray-man, in the episode, "The Village Where a Witch Lives, Part 1"

Whenever I think of samurai, Kanda comes to mind XD with his large samurai sword and samurai pony-tail and all that

Dedicated to KyanChan!
