Description

This set of stamps presents two pretty and cute smiling sheep that symbolize the four seasons. The four seasons are divided into two groups with autumn & winter in one stamp and spring & summer in the other. The peony and plum on the forehead of the autumn & winter sheep and the chrysanthemum / lotus as clothes on the spring & summer sheep combines the elements of the four seasons into one. The design of this stamp set symbolizes the fact that the four seasons will come and go in turns continuously, and that everything in the world will cycle continually and connect with each other.
