古代的中國人相信，龍能吞雲聚水降雨，被視為「陽」的幻化。雲也被視為是一種「氣」，乃宇宙最本質的力量。中國與日本，龍一直是水墨書中常見的題材，南宋的畫家陳容（1127－1279年）以畫龍著稱；日本的谷文晁（1763－1840年）兼收並蓄、影響深遠，他活躍於18世紀末至19世紀初的江戶，精通中日不同流派畫風。
In ancient Chinese beliefs, dragon are associated with clouds and water and are thought to control the rain. They are seen as ever-changing manifestations of the yang (active) principle. Clouds are also seen as an embodiment of qi, the vital force of the cosmos. Dragons have been frequently portrayed by ink-painters in both China and Japan, famously by 13th century Chinese painter Chen Rong. Tani Buncho was a highly eclectic and influential painter working in Edo in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, who mastered a wide variety of historical painting styles from China and Japan.
