Ryūjin (龍神, lit. "Dragon God") is the ruler of seas and oceans, and a dragon capable of changing into human form. He lives in the undersea Ryūgū-jō (龍宮城, lit. 'dragon palace castle'), where he kept the magical tide jewels.
Ryūjin shinkō (竜神信仰, "dragon god faith") is a form of Shinto religious belief that worships dragons as water kami. It is connected with agricultural rituals, rain prayers, and the success of fishermen.
The god has shrines across Japan and especially in rural areas where fishing and rains for agriculture are important for local communities.
The inner part of the ring is engraved with the Heart Sūtra, a popular sutra in Buddhism which states, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."
The ring is handmade of pure 925 Sterling Silver, weighing 10g. The ring is adjustable between sizes 7-13 and 12mm wide.
