Wani (dragon)
was a dragon or sea monster in Japanese mythology. Since it is written using the kanji 鰐 (from Chinese ''e'' 鰐 or 鱷 "crocodile; alligator") ''wani'' is translated as "crocodile", or sometimes "shark" (from ''wanizame'' 鰐鮫 "shark"). ''Wani'' first occurs in two ancient Japanese "mytho-histories", the ca. 680 CE ''Kojiki'' and ca. 720 CE '' Nihongi''. They write ''wani'' with the Man'yōgana phonetic transcription 和邇 and the kanji 鰐. The ''Kojiki'' uses ''wani'' 和邇 several times as a proper name (e.g., the Confucianist scholar Wani) and as a sea-monster in two contexts. First, in the " White Hare of Inaba" fable, the gods try and fail to help a ''shiro'' 白 (lit. "white") "naked; hairless" hare that they found crying on a beach. But the Deity Great-Name-Possessor, who came last of all, saw the hare, and said: "Why liest thou weeping?" The hare replied, saying: "I was in the Island of Oki, and wished to cross over to this land, but had no means of crossing ov ...
