About the Item

This is an impressive Okimo of a rabbit in a resting position. The bronze is very well cast in the form of a realistic rabbit. The bronze is signed on the bottom of one foot, as shown in photo. It is thought that having a rabbit in the house would bring good luck; meaning: we all need one! This guy would make the perfect desk accessory or book shelf eye-catcher. ***In Japanese culture rabbits are one of the signs of the Japanese zodiac. They are considered lucky as the Japanese kanji used to write the word rabbit is similar to the kanji meaning "get rid of " or "make vanish". People believe that rabbits will make bad luck disappear!
