In the Nichijou short 8, Yuuko Aioi goes fishing.  
After fishing up a boot and kettle, she leaves and this upside down heart
shape on a leave floats by.

Supposedly this is a symbolism of sorts, hence what is this symbolizing?

What is this upside down floating heart symbolizing?


It's a peach. As Aki Tanaka commented, this is a reference to the story of
[Momotaro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotar%C5%8D), in which an old woman
finds a peach floating down a river. When she and her husband attempt to eat
it, they find a boy inside.
