"Di Cina pernah ada seorang lelaki yang menyukai gambar naga, dan pakaian serta perabotannya semuanya dirancang sesuai. Kecintaannya yang mendalam pada naga dibawa ke perhatian dewa naga, dan suatu hari naga nyata muncul di depan jendelanya. Dikatakan bahwa dia mati ketakutan. Dia mungkin seorang pria yang selalu berbicara kata-kata besar tetapi bertindak berbeda ketika menghadapi hal yang nyata."

--- Yamamoto Tsunetomo
