The cover is quite gorgeous, it truly is. I love the color and elegance of the design.
But the sword ... the sword is from the wrong nationality. Um ... it's a Japanese sword ... on the cover of a book of a general who was Chinese. And their swords were quiiiiiiiiite a bit different. No less beautiful, but very different.

Funny you should bring that up. On the final cover the katanna was replaced with a more accurate sword. Can't remember the name of it, but it was more in line with a traditional Chinese sword. Haven't bothered to update it in the gallery though.Β

Ahhhhh, you had me researching Chinese swords to see which one this could be. Thus far my friends and I had netted out with this:Β www.japanese-sword.co.uk/imageβ¦

Very nice style! Love the flowing look to the letters and the ribbon. Though I'd have expected a bit more of a Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon look to the sword...

But really, this looks very classical-cartoony! Β
