Kotobuki

In Japanese folklore, the kotobuki is a chimera made up of different body parts of all twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. In Edo times, it was believed that just possessing an image of kotobuki would protect you from sickness and disease. Consequently, woodblock prints of this auspicious magical creature were commonly given as gifts and used as charms to attract good fortune.
