The year 2024 is the year of the dragon.

The fifth of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac, the "dragon," is said to "move with yang qi and grow large like plants and trees full of vitality.

This year, "Koujin" is the year in which things grow, develop, and take shape.

With heartfelt prayers that the divine dragon soaring in the sky will descend to earth and bring us a great year of peace and good fortune.
