The district of Asakusa in Tokyo goes back to the 7th Century when a pair of fishermen found a golden Buddhist statue in their nets. A Golden Dragon was said to have appeared in the sky to mark the auspicious event. Now every year, Asakusa celebrates the finding of the statue and the appearance of the Golden Dragon which propelled Asakusa into fame and fortune.
