The word “Kaeru” or frog in Japanese means return, which is why the frog is considered a lucky animal in Japan. There is good fortune in things returning. They are linked to things or people returning to a place or origin. They are lucky to keep around so that money, friends and other things that you usually see off or give away will at some point come back. They are believed to be companions of safety in travel as they bring people home safely. They are a sign of spring and therefore youth.

Frogs are common subjects in Japanese culture and Irezumi. They are seen alone or holding things such as leaves, instruments, tools, food or other household items. They are also often dressed as samurai, weapons and all.
