The Japanese dragon is also made of nine creatures that are known by all men to be real. These are; the neck of a snake, the head of a camel, the horns of a deer, the eyes of a rabbit, the ears of an ox, the underbelly of a clam, the scales of a fish, the paws of a tiger, and the claws of an eagle. The Japanese dragons have the ability to shape-shift or "morph" into any creature they wish. They may also turn themselves invisible. It is said that when a dragon transforms itself into a human it can lie with another human and either fall pregnant or cause the human to fall pregnant. In this way the Imperial Family of Japan has been created, as they claim to be descended from a union of a dragon princess and a mortal man.
Japanese Dragons symbolise many things. They have become the protector of the Buddhist Law and are often affiliated with meditation and inner peace. They also symbolise the strength of the Emperor and four dragon kings rule the Seas. The Japanese Dragon is a water deity and controls the water and winds in all places. It is they who are to thank or blame for the harvest of the crops. Japanese Dragons also guard the Kingdom of the Gods.
All of this makes the Japanese Dragon worthy of great respect. It is one of the most powerful beings in the cosmos, perhaps it is. Although the Japanese uphold that the Asian Dragons originated in Japan and spread over Asia, the Chinese and Koreans uphold the opposite belief. Make up your own mind.
