Frogs (Kaeru/かえる)
In Japanese culture, frogs are often seen as symbols of good luck, protection, and prosperity. The word for frog, kaeru (蛙), is a homophone for the word meaning "to return" or "to come back," making frogs a symbol of safe travel and the return of good fortune. They are also associated with nature and the cycles of life, as frogs thrive in both water and land environments, embodying adaptability and renewal.
