Many wonderful dragon images are in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. For me, a dragon should have a really goofy looking face, like the one above by Japanese artist Kano Seisen'in Osanobu (1796–1846). I found it in a
slide show of dragon images from the Boston museum. I haven't been there in years, but I remember the dragons.
What made me think about dragons? In fact it was this dragon roll at the Slurping Turtle Restaurant in Ann Arbor.

Wonderful captures!
Love the art dragons!
A goofy dragon is definitely the best 😊 How fabulous is the name 'Slurping Turtle', love it Mae 😀
It's time to hit the DIA again. Too many museums. Too little time...
Such a creative and beautiful plating with the dragon roll. I like sushi but haven’t been to a good sushi restaurant here in a while.
