What is "Eto"
Each year has each "Eto" which means "the twelve signs
of the Chinese Zodiac" in China.
We Japanese also call it "Jyunishi" which expresses twelve animals.
Each "Eto" has its advantages and disadvantages.
A new year starts together with the "Eto" fixed in each year.
The legend said Jupiter went round the sky taking twelve years so the heaven was divided into twelve parts for showing where Jupiter was .
When the Jupiter came on the top, the first Eto animal "Rat" was put there.
After "Rat" , "Ox""Tiger""Rabbit""Dragon""Snake""Horse""Sheep""Monkey""Rooster""Dog""Boar" rotated clockwise.
The Eto Jewry has such a exotic story since ancient times.
You can find your own "Eto"
"Eto" charms are good choice as the special present in the commemorations of having a baby or a marriage.
