Large, bold ink paintings of dragons among clouds or waves were popular for adorning the interiors of castles, where they symbolized ruling power, or for temples, where dragons represent protectors of Buddhism. Depicted among clouds, the mythical creatures are bringers of rain, while dragons among waves signify their association with the Dragon King of the Sea, as the guardians of jewels such as the pearl of wisdom, and Buddhist texts."},"invno":{"label":"Object number","value":"2004.034 a,b"},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Six-fold screen; ink, colors, and silver on paper"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":["2004.034_ab_d0537ab_022","2004.034_ab_d0537ab_023"]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Screen depicting a dragon and waves on one side, and a landscape on the other side"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Paintings"},"primaryMedia":{"value":"https://emuseum.cornell.edu/internal/media/dispatcher/78876/full"},"culture":{"label":"Culture","value":"Japanese"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"18th century (side with dragons) - 19th century (side with landscape)"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"217265"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall (folded): 67 3/8 × 25 1/8 × 4 1/4 inches (171.1 × 63.8 × 10.8 cm)"}}]}
