Shigeru Mizuki in his dictionary of yokai, writes "Ryu" the king of dragons, king of the sea. " There are other (dragons) in Japanese mythology, but I assume, given the similarity that probably speaks Mizuki hartstrings Ryujin. Mizuki explains that this dragon is also sometimes called "Ryugu sama" (god of the palace hartstrings of the king of dragons) Ryugu-jo hartstrings is the name of where dwells the Dragon King. Sinners vowed worship him, offering him sake when they complained material losses at sea Mizuki then explains that in China rainstorms hartstrings are interpreted as follows:.

A day Otohime was sick. The only remedy was supposed to cure the monkey liver. His father Ryujin therefore sent an octopus (then with vertebrae) on land to tracking down a monkey. So the octopus found a monkey climbed on his back and being led to navigate in the underwater palace Ryujin. Finely questioning the octopus, the monkey finally discovered that in fact his liver was coveted. The monkey said, so he had forgotten his liver to his home and asked the octopus to turn back to fetch the liver. The octopus agreed.
