History
Where the waters flow beneath the bridge, this shrine safeguards those who depend upon rivers and streams. The black dragon represents mystery and power dwelling in the depths, keeper of nature's moods and transformations. Those who come here learn respect for water's dual nature—both life-giver and force of overwhelming change.
