Marc Jacob's "mouse flats" inspired this set which I created in honor of 2008 which is the Year of the Rat (Can I just say Year of the cute and totally harmless and disease-free little baby mouse?).
Here's what Wikipedia had to say about the Year of the Rat:
The Rat (鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is an animal associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities.
In the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Rat is associated with the earthly branch symbol 子. In some parts of the world, a year associated with this animal 鼠 is referred to as Year of the Mouse because the word may be translated to "rat", "mouse", or more broadly, "rodent".
