There is a Japanese folktale about two brothers who go out to gather cinnabar every day from a pond.
The cruel younger brother decides he wants to keep all the valuable cinnabar to himself. He constructs a fake dragon from lacquered bowls to scare his elder brother away from the pond.
However, one day as he goes to collect cinnabar again, the dragon comes to life and swallows him.
