A blue dragon from the mural of an ancient tomb located in Nara Prefecture in western Japan has been shown to the media.
The Kitora tomb in Asuka Village is believed to have been built sometime between the late 7th and early 8th centuries.
Workers finished restoring murals from a stone chamber inside the tomb in December after more than a decade of work. The murals are now preserved at a nearby museum.
On Thursday, the media were invited to see the restored Azure Dragon for the first time.
