On February 24th, 2019, Jinjin Day, I think about dragons.

Good evening, this is Amatsuchi! Today is Jinjin Day (´∀｀) I would like to talk about dragons.

It is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that no one has seen in real life. Although the dragon has not been confirmed as a living thing, its existence cannot be ignored. It is not a ghost, but the very force of life itself.

I practice swordsmanship, and sometimes I feel as if the tip of the sword is drawing a parabola like a dancing dragon.
I don't care about small skills, I want to be the dragon's fangs and claws, I want to be the dragon itself, not just improve other people's tactics.

Even though they may not exist as living creatures, it is impossible not to see dragons in all sorts of intangible and beautiful powers.
The beautiful comet in the movie Your Name, which was a big hit about two years ago, also reminded me of the blue dragon in my heart. It is often said that the Japanese archipelago is shaped like a dragon. I think it is fate that I decided to write about dragons today, the 30th anniversary of the Emperor's accession to the throne.

My beloved father, who is now in heaven, was born in December 1952 on the Day of the Dragon.

In string theory, the smallest particles are said to be one-dimensional, like snakes or earthworms. DNA is also said to be string-shaped with an atomic arrangement like beads. Even though we can't see shapes, the microscopic world and the world of enormous power also have dragon-like shapes.
