While the dragon is an imaginary creature that originated in ancient China, it also has a long history in Japan, as early as the Yayoi period(10th century BC-), pottery was being produced featuring images of dragon – like creatures with winding bodies and countless triangular protrusions. Japanese mythology holds that the first emperor was born from a dragon’s belly, and there are also famous tales such as that of “Yamata no Orochi(the eight-headed serpent)”.

It is said that the Japanese dragon emerged through a fusion of dragons introduced from China, the Indian serpent deity known as the “Naga” (which arrived alongside Buddhism), and indigenous Japanese nature worship. In my amateur opinion, I wonder if the awe of lightning streaking across the night sky gave rise to the legend of the dragon? What do you think? From the Heian period(794-1184) onward, Japanese dragons began to take on a distinct identity and came to be worshipped as gods of rain and guardians of war.
