Junishi: The zodical Signs
(Yokohama)
@In today's Japan, Junishi simply means that twelve kinds of animals become the symbol of the year in turn every year. Junishi begins with the rat, followed by the ox, the tiger, the hare, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the cock, the dog and the boar. After the year of the boar, it repeats from the rat.
@People now are conscious of Junishi only when they think it as a design of a nengajo-a New Year card, even so they know in what sign of year they were born according to the zodiac cycle.
