Cartão Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Star Mouse

A cute mouse with a star wreath painted in sumie technique with sumi ink on rice paper. The rat is the first symbol in the Japanese zodiac. Legend has it that when God called for all animals to attend a New Year’s greeting, the rat arrived there first by secretly traveling on the back of the ox. As rats breed fast, this symbol represents “prosperity of descendants” and “social success”. People who belong to the Rat Japanese Zodiac are extremely charming individuals, respectable and caring. The Rat people are honest in their dealings with others.
