Dove
In Japan the dove is the familiar of Hachiman, the deity of archery and war. He is present in Shinto and Buddhist beliefs.
The dove signifies that after war peace would come. Fantail doves are a popular breed of fancy pigeon with more tail feathers than other breeds, creating a large fan shape. They are thought to have originated in Asia, possibly Japan.
