Japanese dragon
Unlike in European culture, in Japan and the Far East in general, dragons are not negative characters. Depending on historical periods and religions, they are associated with strength, wisdom, long life and good luck. Japanese dragons are depicted as serpent-like creatures. Unlike in European mythology, they do not have wings yet they can fly. They are typically aquatic creatures or water gods, which is why they are depicted almost everywhere where water and rain play a major role in people's lives. According to some beliefs, the Japanese imperial family are descendants of dragons.
