Description
The year 2001 is the Year of the Snake. While the snake is viewed as a clever and cunning animal and often considered 'the messenger of Satan' in the West, the beast is believed to transform into a noble dragon after a long period of tribulations in Korea and is also worshiped as a protector of the house based on the belief that every house has a serpent guardian.
