Camellia Tea Ceremony
@camelliakyoto@mastodon.social  ·  activity timestamp 3 days ago

Through a play on words, in Japan owls have come to be celebrated as bringers of luck and relievers of suffering.

🦉'Fukurō' (梟 'owl') can be broken down into homonyms for...
🍀'luck comes' (福 'fuku' /来 'ku' /郎 'rō').
🤕'without hardship' (不 'fu' /苦労 'kurō').

#Japan #梟 #owl
