It is said that peacocks first arrived in Japan during the Asuka period, and there are records of this rare bird in the Nihon Shoki.
Since ancient times, peacocks have been worshipped as guardians of the earth due to their unparalleled beauty and because they eat poisonous snakes that harm humans.
In India, the peacock is worshiped as the national bird, in Greece as the incarnation of the goddess Hera, and in Japan as the Peacock King and a symbol of immortality and prosperity.
It is said that Heian aristocrats would dream of the heavens where the peacock resided, imagine it, and depict it in their Buddhist paintings, burning with passion.
