Did you know?
- The concept of a dragon in Japan, often called 竜 (ryū) or 龍 (ryū), is fundamentally different from Western dragons, as Japanese dragons are typically water deities associated with rain and oceans.
- The character 龍 is the traditional 'kyujitai' form, which is more complex and visually striking than the simplified 'shinjitai' form 竜 often seen in modern textbooks.
- The color white in 白蓮龍 is not just a pigment but often represents the void or the beginning of all things in Eastern philosophy.
