Description

Kirin, also known as Qilin in Chinese mythology, is a mythical creature revered for its auspicious attributes and benevolent nature. The yokai typically combines features of various animals such as a deer's body, scales like a dragon, and sometimes a lion's mane. It is distinguished by its gentle demeanor and is believed to appear only during the reign of a wise and benevolent ruler or in times of peace and harmony. Revered as a symbol of virtue and righteousness, Kirin embodies the ideals of wisdom, compassion, and harmony in East Asian cultures.
