2022 is the Year of the Tiger🐯! - Japanese Zodiac Signs 来年は寅年だ🐯！

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are trees made of stuffed tiger animals currently on show at the Tokyo International Forum. Every December, the facility displays trees made of stuffed animals representing the zodiac sign of the coming year. This year, it has three tiger trees because 2022 is the Year of the Tiger🐯!!

The Japanese zodiac signs follow a 12-year cycle in the order listed below. This means that 2022 is the Year of the Tiger, 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, 2021 was the Year of the Ox, and 2020 was the Year of the Rat. People born in the year of each sign are said to have the following personality traits (so, for example, if you were born in 2000, your zodiac sign is the Dragon, so see number 5 below!):

1. 🐭 Rat - Adaptable, resourceful, sociable, honest, and calm, but sometimes nosy
2. 🐂 Ox - Quiet, patient, and moves at their own pace, but when angry, can get out of control
3. 🐯 Tiger - Romantic, brave, and enjoys challenges, but can be stubborn and restless
4. 🐇 Rabbit - Graceful, quiet, and sensitive, but can be moody and easily hurt
5. 🐉 Dragon - Energetic and competitive, but short-tempered with a lot of pride
6. 🐍 Snake - Considerate, funny, and caring, but can be vindictive with a lot of pride
7. 🐴 Horse - Quick-witted, clever, speedy, and comedic, but sometimes self-centered
8. 🐏 Sheep - Thoughtful, compassionate, and chic, but doesn't handle pressure well
9. 🐵 Monkey - Street-smart, popular, sensitive, and likable, but restless and impatient
10. 🐔 Rooster - Intuitive, smart, and methodical, but lacks tenacity and is prone to quitting
11. 🐶 Dog - Honest, clearheaded, and has a strong sense of justice, but can be negative
12. 🐗 Boar - Conscientious, honest, and caring, but short-tempered and tends to rush into things recklessly

Have you found your zodiac sign and your personality traits? By the way, the term "sheeple" - combination of the words "sheep" and "people" - is used in The Matrix Resurrections to criticize those who want to be controlled without thinking for themselves. I was born in the Year of the Sheep, but I definitely don't want to be controlled by anybody!😆

国際フォーラムの干支ツリーです。来年は寅年なのでもちろん寅ツリーです！

干支ってそれぞれ特徴的な性格がありますよね。私は未年で「思慮深く、人情家でお洒落だけど優柔不断でトラブルに弱い」らしいです。確かにトラブルに弱い｡｡｡😁😆！でもいいことは信じよう！！

ところで「マトリックス レザレクション」の中で「Sheeple」、つまり「sheep」と「people」を合わせた造語が「自分がなくて他人に支配されたい人」という意味で使われていました。えーっ、ヒツジだけど他人には支配されたかないよ～（笑）
