Small and exquisite, with profound meaning.
The Japanese word frog and Safety are homophonic (kaeru), and usually frogs are mascots that represent beauty. In this whimsical idea, the frog represented by the mascot is placed on the skull that symbolizes death, implying that all things are impermanent, and the prosperous must decline. The Diamond Sutra says: “All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.” have the same meaning. A hundred years of life is fleeting. Fame and wealth are like fleeting clouds, dreams and illusions, and immortality is nothing but an urn.
