Frogs Through the Ages
Frogs have been a symbol of transformation and renewal across cultures. From ancient Egypt, where they represented fertility due to their close association with the annual flooding of the Nile, to the symbolic "Three-legged toad" in Chinese culture linked to wealth and immortality.
In Japanese culture, frogs are considered lucky, often said to return what is lost to travelers. This resonates in the word "kaeru," meaning both "frog" and "return."
Moreover, in Native American folklore, frogs are known as healers and bringers of rain. Their songs signify spring's return, promising renewal and new beginnings.
Modern Representation
Frogs frequently appear in modern media. They are portrayed as charming characters in films and literature, such as in "The Princess and the Frog," or as whimsical figures in art and advertisements.
