Koohii stories:
1) [mantixen] 15-2-2007(39): The only cage that can keep a dragon is made of bamboo.

4) [kapalama] 19-9-2011(5): 立て篭る =立て籠る, 印籠 =印篭cage (#2638 篭)ロウ, かご, こもる … Parts: 竹 , 竜 /龍 ( 印籠 cage [old] (#3028 籠), 龍安寺 dragon [old] (#2981 龍) … Note: When かご is written in Kanji, it can use simple form 篭 . The verb (たって)こもる uses the old form of Dragon. Probably better to learn 龍 dragon [old] (#2981 龍) and then get used to seeing either the old or new form of dragon in any Kanji using it as a part, rather than trying to remember one or the other. This is true for all Kanji using dragon 滝 -瀧 etc.
