Film Director Hoji Frog Greetings Card

This Film Director Hoji Frog greetings card shows a frog as a film director, adapted from a Japanese woodblock print of 1814. The original frogs come from Meika Gafu, an album by the artist Matsumoto Hōji in which frogs act out scenes from everyday life.

The reverse explains why frogs are lucky in Japan: the word for frog, kaeru, can also mean “to return”, so the frog stands for good things coming back.
