猪 inoshishi Boar

The Japanese word inoshishi means "boar" and most commonly refers to the wild boar. With the right context inoshishi also refers to the "Year of the Boar". However, if you are looking for "Year of the Boar" as a stand-alone design and want no possible ambiguity then consider using Year of the Boar (inoshishidoshi).
