Description: Among popular Japanese spiritual symbols, frogs were described as a symbol of Spring or Summer. These creatures are often used in poetry and art and venerated for their association with the cycle of nature and life. Frogs are lucky to keep around, for frogs promise good fortune and friends, (which will at some point come back) so are carried by travelers to make sure they return safely from their journeys.
