I watched an interesting news in TV, which preparing the fortune Oriental zodiac goods for next year.Oriental zodiac is an old Japanese calender which is based on Chinese signs of the zodiac.
The zodiac signs were introduced in Japan in the 6 century.
There are12 animals in the zodiac, mouse, cattle, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, bird, dog, wild boar. The animal zodiac operates on a 12-year cycle.
Many Japanese still believe people's characters and fates are determined by the animal sign of their birth.
Each of the zodiac animals have its own distinct characteristics, which people bor
n in that year are said to share. According to Japanese tradition, each year reflects the character of a different sign of the Oriental zodiac. Of corse, I didn't believe it, it's just a superstition, but these types of thing is a creative attitude to handle daily routines differently. So, I enjoy this event as expecting.Well, next year's animal is a tiger.
Getting back to what I was saying, one shrine was preparing unique tiger fortunes which front paws rasing to invite peace and happy, they look really like "manekineko."
A maneki neko is the decorative figure of a seated cat, with one of its front paws raised to invite people in.Items that invite good fortune, such as daruma and maneki neko, are called "engimono".
I also hope bring me good luck.
