| Dragons are a popular symbol in the cultures of East Asia, where they represent power, wisdom, and strength. Asian dragons are generally depicted without wings, unlike their Western counterparts, yet they nevertheless appear in the heavens as in this Japanese painting titled Two Dragons in Clouds. Japanese dragons have three claws, whereas Korean dragons have four claws and Chinese dragons have five claws. | ||||||
