The Brief Description of Eto 12 Animals Dolls
Eto is an old way of counting number originated in China. It is not clear why these twelve animals were chosen, but it is said that they meant twelve directions at first.
Now each Eto animal is applied to a year in a twelve-year cycle. Japanese prefer to use a new year's animal in January like printing on new year's cards, including in advertisements, selling related products, and so on.
In additional, all of Japanese have an own Eto animal that is a birth year's animal as the following table.
