The Suit of Swords (剣, Ken)? is one of the four Minor Arcana of the Tarot, along with Cups, Wands and Coins. In Tarot, swords relate to the element of Air, to the nobility and military matters. Therefore, these concepts are linked to power, authority and strength, but also responsibility, suffering and violence.
