ANIMALS ANNUAL AND AERIAL

概要：

Just as in the West there are twelve signs of the zodiac, so in Japan the years are divided among twelve annual animals, to each of whom are assigned special characteristics. In this book, however, I consider the characteristics assigned to these animals from an English point of view. Moreover, in addition to the twelve animals, only one of whom is a bird, commonly identified as the cock or the hen, I extend the number of birds to seven, calling them aerial animals for the sake of alliteration.
