Origami Chinese Dragon (Koya Ohashi)

            Info found on the internet:
"""The Chinese dragon also called: Loong or Long, or 龙 in Chinese, is a long, serpentine-like creature in Chinese mythology.
In sharp contrast to Western ideas about dragons, the Eastern or Oriental dragons are a symbol of strength, good luck, and power."""

I found this also interesting to read:
""""The Difference between Eastern Dragons:
Chinese dragons have five toes. The Chinese believe that all eastern dragons originated from China. They believed that when the dragons flew away, they began to lose toes. The farther and farther the dragons flew, the more toes they lost. So, Korean dragons have four toes, and Japanese dragons have three. 

Japanese dragons have three toes. The Japanese believe that all eastern dragons originated from Japan. They also believed that when the dragons began to leave Japan, they gain toes. The farther the dragons went, the more toes they gained. This is why the other dragons have more toes. The breath of Japanese dragons turned into clouds, which could produce rain or fire. Due to a measure upon their heads, they could ascend to Heaven when they chose. 

Korean dragons have four toes. The Koreans believe that all eastern dragons originated from Korea. When the dragons leave Korea and go toward China, they gain toes. When the dragons leave Korea and go toward Japan, they lose toes.""""
Please correct me if I'm wrong, thank you!

This is just a version of a simple origami Chinese dragon (in other words: easy to fold), and made from two pieces (20x20cm) of red transparent paper. 
It has just one toe, so I guess it's still a youngster? ;-))
Final size: height 12cm, length 29cm
