RYŪJIN

Dragon king and sea god

Ryūjin (龍神, lit. "Dragon God"), is the tutelary deity of the sea in Japanese mythology. This Japanese dragon, symbolizing the power of the ocean, is considered a good god and patron of Japan, since the Japanese population has for millennia lived off the bounty of the sea. Ryūjin lived in Ryūgū-jō, his palace under the sea built out of red and white coral, from where he controlled the tides with magical tide jewels.
