The rabbit / hare is one of the 12 zodiac animals of the Asian calendar. He is therefore a well-liked animal in folk art and handicraft.  u no toshi 卯の年 year of the rabbit  . 12 Zociac animals 干支　 eto, kanshi . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::　 Daikoku and rabbits 兎大黒 usagi Daikoku Daikoku Ten 大黒天 Daikoku one of the seven gods of good luck 七福神 Daikoku is considered to be the god of wealth, or of the household, particularly the kitchen. He is recognised by his wide face, smile, and a flat black hat. He is often portrayed holding a golden mallet, seated on bales of rice, with mice nearby (mice signify plentiful food). .

Its story relates to the Shinto deity Okuninushi no Mikoto 大国主命 (Daikoku in the Buddhist version) and his encounter with the white rabbit of Inaba　　因幡の白兎.
