The kanji for ‘rabbit’ (the zodiac sign ‘U’)
How about welcoming the New Year in a stylish, cool way by boldly designing the zodiac character on the wall? It can completely transform the atmosphere of a senior care facility or a room! Cut gold origami diagonally into four pieces and attach them to the four corners of the paper where you’ll write the character.
You can either print out a template for the character or write it with a brush on washi paper—both are fine.
The character for “卯” (the Rabbit) is simple, so it should be easy to design.
It would also look lovely to decorate with celebratory motifs like pine, bamboo, and plum.
A rabbit wearing a hakama
Wearing traditional Japanese clothing at New Year makes you feel sharp and refreshed, doesn’t it? It puts you in the mood to say, “All right, I’ll do my best this year too.” Here we’re introducing an idea for a rabbit dressed in a hakama.
The cuteness combined with the New Year vibe will instantly brighten up the room with just one piece.
It’s a simple craft made by cutting thick paper and gluing the pieces together.
There’s no need for complicated steps, so it’s perfect to make together with your grandchild.

In 2022, origami drew attention when it was used in the design of the Japan national soccer team’s uniform.
A traditional Japanese art, origami is fascinating because by changing the way you fold, you can freely create a wide variety of motifs! Let’s make a rabbit wreath with origami.
Make eight rabbit pieces, connect them together, and draw the rabbits’ faces to finish! Using patterned origami gives it a different and lovely feel, too.
It’s perfect not only for New Year’s, but also for the moon-viewing festival and Easter, so be sure to give it a try!
In conclusion
We introduced some rabbit ideas that are perfect for January wall decorations.
Their fluffy white look brings a full sense of winter to your room.
Wrapping yarn and cutting colored paper—spending time making things with your hands becomes a heartwarming moment in itself.
We hope the finished wall decorations help create a space full of smiles.
