This is a one of a kind dragon is printed in environmentally-friendly water-based block-printing ink on handmade red Chinese paper, with gold blossoms. The sheet is 11.75" (30 cm) wide by 14" (35.6 cm) tall.

The dragon is a near-universal figure in world mythologies and has quite complex symbolism. In China, the dragon is more benign than in most Western legends, and the powerful creature is the fifth in the 12-year zodiac cycle. Dragons with five claws are reserved for the Emperor- this is a three-clawed dragon, speaking the character "long" for dragon.

Those born after Chinese New Year (or early in subsequent years) in the years 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 are (or will be) born in the Year of the Dragon. This print would make a lovely gift for lovers of dragons or those born in the Year of the Dragon.

___________________________________________
Le dragon est le cinquième signe du zodiaque chinois. Selon l'astrologie chinoise, les personnes ayant comme signe le dragon sont considérées comme idéalistes et perfectionnistes. Le dragon est aussi le signe zodiacal le plus populaire, notamment en Chine où durant les années du dragon il y a une sensible augmentation du taux de naissance, de nombreux parents voulant avoir un enfant de ce signe.

Le « dragon » est décrit comme étant autoritaire, philanthrope, mondain. On dit du dragon qu'il s'entend bien avec le « Singe » et le « Rat », et très mal avec le « chien ».

C'est une gravure d'un dragon et son charactère en chinois, en encre noir sur papier rouge et dorée (11,75 pouces par 14 pouces ou 30 cm par 35,6 cm). Il est unique.
