Japanese dragons (日本 の 竜 Nihon no ryū?) Are several legendary creatures of Japanese mythology and folklore. Myths relating to dragons in Japan amalgamate local legends with stories imported from China, Korea and India; in fact, for example, the style of this dragon is strongly influenced by the Chinese one. Like other dragons from various Asian cultures, most Japanese dragons are water gods associated with rainfall and streams. They are typically represented as large serpentine creatures without wings but with long claws. In the modern Japanese language there are many terms to designate the word "dragon", among which the most used are the native tatsu, from the ancient form ta-tu, the Chinese loan ryū or ryō (竜?) From the Chinese (龍 T , lóngP), nāga (ナ ー ガ?) from the Sanskrit nāga, or doragon (ド ラ ゴ ン?) from the English dragon (the latter word is used mostly in reference to the European dragon and the creatures derived from it). Sometimes the dragon is represented with a pearl or precious stone, which is the manifestation of his soul.
