Book Cover Design Brief

I need a sophisticated and powerful book cover design that combines Japanese minimalism with contemporary appeal. The cover should convey personal transformation through the metaphor of a katana (Japanese sword).
Key Design Elements:
A katana, either partially shown or artistically rendered
Subtle Japanese design elements without being stereotypical
Clean, minimalist aesthetic
Professional font selection that bridges Eastern and Western typography
Color scheme: Deep blacks, steel grays, and possibly a touch of red or gold for accent

Mood/Style:
Professional and sophisticated
Blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern design
Should appeal to personal development and business readers
Must convey strength and transformation
Elegant rather than aggressive

Specific Requirements:
Title: "The Katana Mindset"
Subtitle: "Japanese Techniques for Building Mental Strength and Emotional Resilience"
Author names: Ravindra Simpi and Rashi Simpi
Cover dimensions: Standard hardcover book size (6" x 9")
Must work well in both physical and digital thumbnail formats
Should be striking and legible when viewed as a small image online

Design Specifics:

Japanese elements such as brushstroke effects, kanji characters, or wave patterns

The design should reflect the book's core message: personal transformation through Japanese wisdom principles, using the katana as a metaphor for growth and development.
