** MISSING BLACK OUTER SLEEVE ** For thousands of years, the legendary dragon has been an integral part of Asian culture. Unlike the fire-breathing villains of the West, Asian dragons are friendly and benevolent. They are powerful beings that bring life-giving rain to crops during Chinese New Year, the most important celebration in Chinese culture. Their noble strength also shines during dragon boat races, as paddlers propel their boats forward to the commanding beat of drums.
