The Kirin (麒麟 or きりん)
Harbinger of Goodness: The appearance of a Kirin is considered an auspicious omen, signaling the imminent birth or death of a wise sage or an illustrious, benevolent ruler.
Symbol of Peace and Prosperity: It heralds a golden age and is often seen only during the reigns of wise leaders.
Benevolent Nature: The Kirin is so gentle that it avoids harming any living thing—walking on water or grass without bending a single blade.
Justice and Protection: Despite its peaceable nature, it is a "beast of justice." It is believed to punish the wicked, using its power to protect the innocent.
