Jikkan-Junishi
Jikkan, Junishi were created in ancient China. Jikkan (10 signs) and Junishi (12 signs) used independently or in combination, express dates, years, months, times and directions.
Now only Junishi are used, corresponding to twelve animals: rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, serpent, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, wild boar.
Story...
 A long long time ago. Kami-sama told all the animals, "I invite all of you to a party tomorrow. And on no account, be late" When the mouse heard that he told a lie to the cat and said that the meeting was to take place the day after tomorrow.
 So the next day, the mouse rode on the ox's back and arrived in front of the meeting place, after that the rest of the animals. They all had a fun time until morning, except for the cat that was fooled.
