Artist's Comments
I feel I neet to Comment a lot in this picture. This is Seiryuu, one of the four Guardians of Kyoto, Seiryuu is the Protector of East Kyoto. He is worshiped at The Kiumizu temple in Kyoto.
This is actually one of the first legends I knew about Japan and this is also one of the reasons why my favourite city is Kyoto and I wanted to go so desperatly to Kyoto. Kyoto is the City with the most beautiful and large amount of Temples and Legends and ,... well it's " The" City you should visit at least 2000 times in your life. |

 reports, 1d 11h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

i cant even seem to find on the net what the other guardian's temples are
The Four Guardians are Seiryuu the dragon ( East),
Whose temple is Kyomizu dera ( I'm Going back for new Year's countdown).
Then we have the tiger Known as Byakko west the red bird ( who looks like a Phoenix) is named Suzaku, and last the North Guardian, Genbu the turtle. Each of these animals is highly respected In Japan.
I think that the temple for Byakko is close to Heian Jingu, but I'm not sure.
I just don't remember the temples now.
I'll have to go back and see.
