艦 - Warship
A giant Warship sails out at dawn, its Boat hull painted with fierce “ship-eyes” like the old Okinawan 馬艦船 to scare away bad luck.
On deck stands an admiral to Oversee the fleet-his name echoes like “Khan,” the same カン that drums in 軍艦 (warship) and 艦隊 (fleet).
Each boom of the taiko-カン、カン-feels like the heartbeat of the Warship, reminding you it’s the mighty ship that oversees all others at sea.
