dragon
Around the end of the Yayoi period, dragons were introduced from ancient China to Japan.
In ancient China, the dragon was the god of water, the god of fortune.
Ancient Chinese dragons are also based on the belief of snakes.
The image of Naga in India overlapped and became a dragon.
In Japan, the snake god and the water god, which have been worshiped since ancient times,
were considered to be the same as dragons.
The dragon god spread further with the introduction of Buddhism.
Buddhism has a dragon king.
The origin of the Dragon King was Naga from India.
It is a god who became a model of a dragon.
In Japan, begging for rain has also become a monk's job.
With the spread of Buddhism, the legend of the dragon god also spread.
It is a familiar idea in Japan to take in a foreign god and make it a part of the Japanese god.
The dragon also became a member of the Japanese god.
The dragon that was introduced to Japan has undergone a unique evolution.
Chinese dragons have a fixed shape.
It has not been decided in Japan.
When it is designed, it is often shaped like a Chinese dragon, but it depends on the person who draws it.
