In Japan, the reclining ox carries a special cultural meaning, particularly associated with Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning. The ox is considered his sacred messenger, and many Tenmangu shrines feature reclining ox statues to symbolize wisdom, academic success, steadiness, and diligence.
