 Description:
A whimsically fierce Dragon with a peach, like a puppy with a ball in its mouth.
Theme:
This piece alludes to the Japanese legend of Seibo, a Princess Deity of extraordinary
powers. Seibo keeps Magic Dragons as her " familiars," and in her garden
grow magical peaches, the gift of which bestows immortality upon the recipient.
"Playful" portrays her Dragon at play, the 'yang' element of
the Baby Dragons pair.
