Japanese Dragon Tattoos - Origins And Significance

Japanese Dragon tattoos make a great choice for a tattoo - but you want to pick carefully. There are a great deal of different dragon types, colors and styles to choose between, all with absolutely different meaning and significance. Make sure you carry out some comprehensive research first before committing.

Origins of the Japanese Dragons

The origination of the decorative and symbological Japanese Dragon stem from traditional parable and folklore. The Japanese regard the dragon as a water deity and therefore the tattoos often have backgrounds containing water in the shape of clouds, rain, lightning or waves. For the tattoo wearer, the tattoo frequently is like strength, wisdom, bravado and to a degree - wholeness.

The Japanese Dragon tattoo is popular with the Yakuza (the Japanese mafia). Since the 19th Century, it has also very popular with Japanese firefighters, generally thanks to the dual organisation with fire and water. The Japanese Dragon is also seen as a mediator between good and malicious, life and death, liberty and fear, fire and water, yin and yang.

The Anatomy of the Japanese Dragon

The Japanese dragons anatomy is made of parts from other animals, particularly they have:

• no wings
• a serpentine-like form (esp the neck)
• the head of a camel
• the paws of a tiger
• claws like an eagle
• demonic eyes,
• scales like that of a carp (or koi)
• long whiskers or whiskered.
• The Colouring of the Japanese Dragon

The Colouring of the Japanese Dragon

The colours used on dragon tattoo are also important - terribly simply:

The black, white, blue and red coloured dragons represent the four elements (wind, earth, water and fire), as well as with the 4 compass points (north, south, west and east).

The Gold-coloured dragon is known as special because they have many endowments like wisdom, kindness and capability to face issues.

The Green dragon has connections to the earth. The green dragon is pretty little.

The significance of the black dragons means their mom and pop are really old and sensible.

Yellow dragons aren't common. They are a great friend when you need help and have a reputation for staying aloof from humanity, only emerging at opportune moments.

Some examples of Japanese Dragon.

• Fuku-Riu is a dragon favorite of many folks because it's a luck dragon.

• Hai-Riyo known as bird dragon, and the most advanced kind of a dragon. It developed from Chinese mythology.
• Han-Riu has many stripes on his body and to forty feet in length. One of the largest dragon.
• Sui-Riu is a dragon king and controls the rain.
• Ka-Riu is a brilliant red colour and dragon tiny compared with the others.
• Ri-Riu dragon is a rare species that are not well understood. Nonetheless it is known that they've an amazing eye.Some examples of Japanese Dragon.

Chris Lilley Talks 'Angry Boys' (TV Squad)

Chris Lilley says he has no comedic influences, which, on the surface, is
surprising because doesn't _every_ comedian have influences? Then again, the
Australian-born Lilley's style of comedy is so unique and ambivalent to
anything that would dare be considered politically correct -- from his first
show "We Can Be Heroes" to the cult favorite HBO series "Summer Heights High"
-- that _maybe_ his lack of role models is not surprising at all.

But with that uniqueness comes backlash and controversy. And there has
certainly been some already about his new HBO series, "Angry Boys," which
premieres Jan. 1 on HBO.

We spoke to the 37-year-old "Angry Boys" star, who writes and directs the
series and also performs six separate characters: twin high school students
Daniel and Nathan Sims; their grandmother, Ruth (a.k.a. Gran); an African-
American rapper named S. Mouse; a Japanese mother named Jen Okazaki; and a
surfer named Blake Oakfield. So, yes, it's not difficult to understand why
there's controversy; and that's before even considering the homophobic slang
often used by Daniel and Gran. Lilley addressed it all for The Huffington
Post:
