Rabbit
In Japan the rabbit is one of the animals of the zodiac, their fleet footedness means they were chosen as messengers of the gods. They represent fortune, moving forward and cleverness. They are considered lucky as the kanji for Rabbit resembles the one for ‘vanish’ meaning they make bad luck disappear.
Peony
Known as the King of Flowers in Japan signifies good fortune, bravery and honour.
Butterfly
The butterfly is a common symbol in Japanese art, it represents good luck, good health and prosperity.
