- The Japanese word for owl, ふくろう (fukurou), sounds like "no hardship," "happiness," "good fortune," and "good luck." The Japanese word for "fortune" is pronounced fuku, which happens to be the first two syllables of the owl's name. These auspicious connotations make the owl a symbol of "smooth sailing without hardship," "happiness," "longevity," and "good fortune" in Japanese culture. No matter how you interpret it, it is a super positive and auspicious sign.
- Did you know that an owl's head can turn 270 degrees? This symbolizes "abundant wealth" and "attracting good fortune"; in addition, owls have bright eyes and clear vision even in the dark, symbolizing "seeing through all things" and "wisdom".
