from the japanese esoterism and a base of japanese history:
Byakko: the white tiger representing Autumn and Metal, guardian of the West direction
(always represented with Seiryū: the Azure Dragon: which is the second model)

by extension, and not a point to consider for the challenge:
i print them in flax fibers, for educational purposes (let young generations discovering their history)
