Two large dragon pillars stand near the waterfront and Tomari Wharf in Naha, Okinawa. They were built to mark the friendship and exchange between Naha and Fuzhou in Fujian Province, China, and are placed as a pair facing the sea. The pillars are 15 meters tall and 3 meters wide, made from granite from Fujian Province. One has an open mouth and the other a closed mouth, standing on opposite sides of the road.
