the Japanese word for frog—kaeru (蛙)—is a homophone for the verb meaning "to return" or "to come home" (帰る).
Cultural Meaning
• Safe Travel: Because of this wordplay, travelers carry small frog charms to ensure they return home safely.
• Returning Fortune: It also symbolizes that money, luck, or lost items will find their way back to you.
