Description
In Japan, the kanji character for "rabbit" (うさぎ) bears a resemblance to the phrase "免れる", which means "to escape" or "to avoid." Due to this visual similarity, the rabbit is believed to bring good luck and protect against misfortune, acting as a symbol of escaping from negative energy or bad luck. 
Furthermore, rabbits are known for their high reproductive capabilities, which has led to their association with "prosperity in descendants" and a fruitful future. The image of a rabbit hopping forward with a light, bouncy movement also symbolizes smooth and successful progress, suggesting that things will be resolved effortlessly and without problems.
