2012 is China's year of the Dragon. supposed to be a powerful year and children born in it are particularly gifted. Both Chinese and Japanese cultures revere the Great Dragons.
Artisitically you can tell the nationality of the dragon by counting claws. Japanese dragons have 3. Chinese dragons have 5 and both claim the dragon originated in their country. The Japanese idea is that the young dragon rose up with the sun and flew west, growing more claws as it progressed and matured. The Chinese claim the Dragons came from the west and claws fell off as it flew east towards Japan- all I can say it that seems like a pretty decrepit dragon do come out of China if bits are dropping off! |
