Golden Dragon Chrysanthemum
The Golden Dragon is a purely a Japanese Chrysanthemum.
This beautiful lithograph with pronounced Japanese influence, is based from a nature study watercolor by F. Schuyler Mathews.
Accompanying this print is a companion poem called Vigilance by Edith M Thomas, founded on the Japanese legend of the fight between the dragon and the centipede, a story still recounted to the traveller in Japan, when he is shown a shrine consecrated to the dragon, built on the mountainside where the battle was fought.
