🐸 Traffic Safety Frog Statue – "Kaeru" for a Safe Return (2022 Model)
This charming stone frog statue was specially commissioned by the Aichi Prefectural Police. It plays on a Japanese word pun: "kaeru" means both “frog” and “to return home.” Symbolizing a safe return, it was created as a traffic safety charm. Hand-carved by skilled stonemasons in Okazaki City, this piece not only serves as a local safety icon but also reflects the playful spirit of Japanese wordplay culture.
Each piece is unique, made with care and tradition, making it a meaningful addition to gardens, entrances, or public safety campaigns. Why not welcome this frog as a guardian deity for your home or garden?

🪨 About Okawa Stone
Okawa Stone is a type of fine-grained granite formed approximately 60 to 80 million years ago through ancient magma activity. For centuries, it has been used in architecture, stone lanterns, and sculptures, supporting the long-standing stone craftsmanship of Okazaki.
Its calm, slightly bluish tone and fine texture make it ideal for delicate sculptural work while ensuring durability outdoors. When polished, Okawa Stone reveals an elegant luster, combining dignity with warmth—hallmarks of its unique charm.
