December 27th-31st is Winter-TOJI (winter solstice)-65th KOU “Deer shed antlers.”

I think the deer here refers to the Milu (Père David’s deer; Elaphurus davidianus) that live in Chaina. Milu deer enjoy life in the wild in Hubei – CGTN

Of course, it should be impossible to see them in the HOKUSHIN area. Instead, I found footprints that looked very similar to deer ones. Can you see two hoof-like things side by side?

It’s actually a boar. Also, a raccoon dog, a heron, and a human (shoes) together. It’s kind of lively!
