The Dragon (Tatsu) – The Only Mythical Creature of the Zodiac
Among the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, the Tatsu (dragon) is the only mythical being.
Regarded as a source of cosmic energy, the dragon symbolizes good fortune, power, and prosperity.

This handcrafted Kimekomi*1 doll represents a dragon exhaling fire and carrying a sacred gem (crystal) at its belly—symbols of strength and blessings.
The shimmering gold leaf scales are created using a combination of genuine gold leaf and multicolored foil, capturing the dynamic elegance of the dragon's form.
The Seigaiha (blue ocean wave) motif woven into the brocade is an auspicious pattern associated with water—perfectly befitting the dragon’s elemental nature.
*1 Kimekomi dolls: Wooden dolls dressed with fabric that is inserted into grooves carved on the doll body.
The secret of the intricate beauty of this exquisite decoration lies in our original HAKU-NUNO fabric that fully brings out the luster and suppleness of Kanazawa gold leaf.
