Dragonfly and Lotus Adjustable Ring ♻️In Japanese art, there is a pairing that appears again and again the dragonfly hovering above the lotus pond. It shows up in Edo period woodblock prints, on lacquerware boxes, across the folds of silk kimono. It is not decorative coincidence. The dragonfly, which can only fly forward, became a symbol of resolve and courage. The lotus, which rises clean from muddy water, has stood for spiritual renewal across nearly every Asian culture for millennia.
