5 fauna and 4 flora on the LUC XP Urushi Ultimate Universe
GLau,
Did you find the traditional Japanese 4 insects representing the Universe?
Butterfly - Transformation, Souls, Joy, Longevity.
Dragonfly - Winds of Change, Victory, Courage, Strength.
Grasshopper - Good Luck, Fertility,
Ladybird - Love.
Chopard added a Bee symbol because the original family in Switzerland were beekeepers.
The bee represents unity and family but is not a traditional Japanese motif.
Regards,
MTF

You might be considered a goat !! There is some formula which I am not certain about. Any idea ?? BTW, the urushi work I really love but I do not like their Motifs, except for the Jungle which is driving me CRAZY !! Hence, I asked my wife to get the Jungl...
Sounds like people hedging their bets
i stick with the rules. It ain't the New Year until the red packets arrive on Day 1. With regard to your L.U. Chopard XP Urushi Jungle problem, you have to accept it as a gift from the current Mrs GLau. Our (the current Mrs MTF's) favourite piece is the U...
Hi MTF, you made some interesting comments...
1 - "secret 5th insect": meaning the dark green grasshopper at the bottom?? If so, very subtle in the photo and must be difficult to see in the metal. Do you have this piece ? 2 - "Our (the current Mrs MTF's) favorite piece": then what is the favorite of ...

Thank MTF for the insights to Japanese culture and the family behind the brand!!
BTW, I used to receive red packets on new year's eve for Chinese New Year and these packets were meant to be put under the pillow so that I slept through to the next year with money / prosperity !! Just another reason to collect more red packets!! Cheers,...
My year, and my favorite, MTF.
