A happy new year!! 

Since 2011 is the year of the rabbit in Chinese Zodiac, 2012 is the year of the dragon!


Though the dragons only exist in stories, we know several kinds of them.

This is a European dragon.




Dragon / fireflythegreat


And this is an Eastern dragon. In Japan dragons are illustrated like this.




Dragon / miheco


It seems that the biggest difference is whether it has wings or not...


Although dragons are thought to be good creatures generally in Japan, they are not in Western countries (right?) Maybe you can tell us what you think about dragons. J

Thank you very much for supporting us last year, 2011!

We are all looking forward to seeing you next year here in Japan.

We hope you have a great year!!
