What animal pictures are the most taboo for Japanese people?

Japanese people are very disgusted with things decorated with fox patterns. A cunning fox is a symbol of greed. When visiting Japanese families, you can only bring 15 chrysanthemums, because only the royal hat badge has 16 chrysanthemums.

The Japanese are afraid of lotus flowers.

Japanese taboo "four". Because "four" is the same as death in Japanese. Therefore, Japanese hospitals do not have "four" wards and beds.

In Japanese, the pronunciation of "comb" is homophonic with "bitter death", so Japanese people are afraid to give "comb", and in more luxurious hotel rooms, there are few combs for guests to use. If the Japanese don't take the initiative, you must never lend him the comb casually.

Japanese people are very particular about the orientation of sleeping, and they are most afraid of sleeping with their heads facing north, because when the dead are dead, their heads are facing north. Therefore, when you live in a Japanese house and make your bed in the morning, you must not put your pillow in the north. "North pillow" means death.
