It was designed by combining the "Chin" dog that Kamide kept and an old copper water dropper that he used to use.

The reverse zodiac sign refers to the zodiac sign that is exactly on the diagonal when the twelve zodiac signs are arranged in a circle. The zodiac sign in the opposite position is also called the "Guardian Zodiac Sign," and it is considered auspicious to have items of the Dog year this year, the year of the Dragon, or for those born in the year of the Dragon. "What is a Water Dropper?" A water dropper is a writing tool, a small container used to add water when grinding ink on a suzuri (inkstone). It is also a collectible item for collectors.
