Description In Japanese mythology, Kirin is a very powerful deity. "Ki" and "rin", which make up this word, embody the masculine and feminine. Kirin has another name, he is also called "ikkakuyuyu" – "one-horned beast"
Although it is called a unicorn, outwardly it has little in common with the well-known European unicorn. And he is more harmless than his European counterpart.

His body is compared to a deer and a lion by a lion. Kirin is sometimes enveloped in flames and has a fiery breath. Kirin does not eat animals and steps so as not to touch even the smallest blade of grass.  Kirin helps to get a generous harvest and find security, brings good luck and good news. But, in return, this strong creature may require sacrifice.

Like the European unicorn, the Kirin prefers to live alone in the mountain forests. People cut down mountain forests more and more, and therefore these rare animals became extinct, having lost their usual place of quiet existence.
