Year 6 of Reiwa (2024) is the Year of the Dragon. The Dragon is the fifth sign in the Chinese zodiac, and it is associated with the mythical creature known as the dragon. Among the twelve animals assigned to the Chinese zodiac (referred to as the Twelve Heavenly Stems), the dragon is the only one that is imaginary. Originally a product of the rich imagination of ancient Chinese people, the image of the dragon has been widely accepted throughout East Asia.
