Dragonfly (Tombo)
 |
Dragonfly is regarded as lucky and which brings you "victory".The dragonfly ("tombo" in Japanese) was called "Kachi-mushi"
("mushi" means insect) traditionally, because we can hear it
flies sounding like "Kachi, kachi".
The Kachi is the same sound of 勝ち- victory-.
Samurai worriers and his wife loved dragonfly because of this reason.
Also, the tombo turns straightly back, that reminds Samurai that he could
be back straightly and directly from his field to his home. |

Rabbit (Usagi)
  |
A rabbit's powerful jumps reminds us a word とんとん拍子 "tontonbyoushi" in
Japanese. It means quickly, without a hitch, by leaps and bounds.
We love this motif because it seems to bring us success in our career and
in our life.
Also, we love its long year as listening and hearing a lot of good news.
We know European also believe Rabbit is lucky animal and key ring of Rabbit's left leg is a kind of lucky charm.
