Year of the boar

In Japan, 2019 is the Year of the Boar.  

Cards, talismans and in this case,  a rice cracker, all carry illustrations of the boar as they are considered to be auspicious.

Personally, I’m a horse... a fire horse which is considered to be possibly THE most inauspicious sign of the zodiac :(

The rice cracker was a gift from my lovely friend :)
