SUMMARY:How Dragons and Bells Make Rain in Japan - Virtual Lecture
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL LECTURE – How Dragons and Bells Make Rain in Japan\nFor centuries\, humans have sought supernatural assistance for relief from droughts and floods. In Japan\, tenth-century records show that dragons were enlisted in imperial rainmaking rituals. Buddhist texts and Asian folklore are ripe with tales of dragon kings who dwell in an undersea palace and have control over storms. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Sherry Fowler will introduce long-forgotten strategies rural communities developed that employed large temple bells beyond their sound-making\, including soaking them in water or parading floats of bells. \nThis lecture is hosted by the Japan Foundation Los Angeles \nREGISTER HERE
