RYU 龍 means dragon in Japanese
 The Dragon is believed as one of the gods controlling the air and protecting the house and people from fire accidents
For this reasons, many head priests asked artists to draw Dragon on the main hall ceilings wishing the dragons watch over the monks.
This is my artwork inspired by the history of Dragon ceilings.
No matter how you turn this artwork, it always seems that the dragon is looking at you
