Eight of Koban
diligence · mastery · practice
Upright
Stamp, hang, repeat — the apprentice's row of finished coins grows. Devotion to craft, one honest rep at a time. Mastery is just repetition that kept caring.
Reversed
Repetition without care — cut corners, drudgery, or perfectionism polishing one coin forever. Reconnect the paws to the point.
