Chinese Ming Dynasty mythology-"Journey to the West" based on the historical Buddhist monk Xuanzang in his mission to seek the "Three Collections of (Buddhist) Scriptures" is depicted on this Japanese Meiji Era (1868-1912), double sided tapestry fukusa. Hand-embroidered silk and couched gold-wrapped thread on indigo dyed shusa satin silk.
The style of the dragon was heavily influenced by the Chinese dragon. Like these other Asian dragons, most Japanese ones are water deities associated with rainfall and bodies of water, and are typically depicted as large, wingless, serpentine creatures with clawed feet.
