El bien y el mal en Japón: influencia del dragón desde el budismo Jōdo Shinshū

This article examines the concept of good and evil, exploring how its interpretation can perpetuate unequal power dynamics and restrict the appreciation of diversity. It analyzes two Japanese narratives —Ryu no Me no Namida by Hirosuke Hamada (1967) and Dragon Ball Z by Akira Toriyama (1988-1995)— to investigate representations of good and evil through the dragon figure. The study connects these narratives to the Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist tradition, highlighting how they reflect and reinterpret cultural values within global contexts.
