The rabbit (卯年 / Usagi) is the 4th animal in the Japanese zodiac and is believed to bring peace, safety, and swift progress. The rabbit is seen as a lucky animal, often associated with success, progress, and safe journeys. Its leaping motion symbolizes moving forward or leaping over difficulties. Because of their reproductive ability, rabbits are seen as symbols of fertility, prosperity, and family happiness.
This piece is perfect as a New Year’s ornament, seasonal décor, or a thoughtful omamori (protective charm) gift.
