## In Japan, the dragon is celebrated every year in May, on the occasion of Asakusa, and symbolizes the renewal.
Like its Chinese and Vietnamese counterparts in particular, the Japanese dragon is associated with bodies of water, the sky and clouds. He is the guarantor of the prosperity of his people. ## In China, the dragon is primarily a symbol of strength and power.
It was rightly the imperial symbol. Moreover, all the objects of the imperial court were marked with his effigy.
The Chinese dragon is the symbol of immortality. In general, the exterior of Buddhist and Taoist temples is decorated with his effigy.
