龍神 (Ryūjin): "the dragon god."
Kurikara is the name Japanese Buddhism gives a dragon king who coils around the sword of Fudō Myōō, the fierce protector of the faith. Temple teaching counts him as one of Fudō's own forms, so a carving of the sword and dragon alone can stand in for the god. The image moved from temple halls onto skin: old Japanese slang for a back covered in tattoos is kurikara monmon.
A white dragon winds up an upright katana on the back, head reared beside the hilt, with orange flames licking out on both sides. The big gray characters read 龍神 (Ryūjin), "dragon god." A round badge of the dragon and sword sits on the chest.
Old slang named a fully inked back after this dragon, kurikara monmon, so it's a natural fit for whoever sat three sessions for theirs. Or wear it yourself under a black overshirt. More of the temple crowd is in gods and guardians.
