From a byōbu by Kanō Tan’yu (Japanese, 1602 – 1674). See discussion.
The kanji words below are for those who want to practice their calligraphy. The first word is "dragon" in English. It has three possible pronunciations in Japanese depending on the context in which it is used. It may be tatsu, ryῡ, or ryō.
The next word is tatsudoshi (year of the dragon).
The relatively simple dragon sketch below is for practice.
