In Japanese, Rats have strong reproductive capabilities, so they have become a symbol of fertility worship among the people. Auspicious patterns often include a combination of rats and multi-seeded plants such as gourds, grapes, pomegranates, etc., which are used to convey the meaning of having many children and grandchildren. Based on the above various origins, the zodiac rat is regarded as a symbol of alertness and adaptability, good handling of adversity, reproduction of descendants, and prosperity of the family business. It carries the auspicious meaning of endless life and prosperity.
