Here are two upright prints by Utagawa Hiroshige from 1855 and 1858 offering two different perspectives of Mount Fuji. The first is titled 'Yoshiwara' and the second is 'In the Mountains of Izu Province' from the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.'

Through a play on words, in Japan owls have come to be celebrated as bringers of luck and relievers of suffering.

🦉'Fukurō' (梟 'owl') can be broken down into homonyms for...
🍀'luck comes' (福 'fuku' /来 'ku' /郎 'rō').
🤕'without hardship' (不 'fu' /苦労 'kurō').

Owls make a regular appearance in Beniya Miyake's (紅谷三宅 @beniyamiyake) annual line-up.

Last autumn's creations were known as "owls that bring good fortune" (幸運を呼ぶミミズク)🦉😋
