Makoto (誠) – Honesty & Sincerity

The Warrior’s Word Is the Soul's Signature

“Truth is the blade that never rusts.”

Makoto is not just honesty.

It is sincerity—the fusion of word and soul, thought and action.

When a warrior speaks, it is not for effect.

It is because the truth must be spoken.

Makoto means no manipulation, no masks.

Just the raw, shining light of what is.

A warrior with Makoto does not promise lightly.

Because their word is already a vow.

When you speak, let it be real.

Let it be you.

Let it be now.
