I believe it's to do with the Tanuki in Japanese mythology, I'm not 100% certain but I think the leaf would allow her to transform into a statue, I base this on the Mario games where the leaves give you ears and a tail allowing you to fly with the full on Tanuki suit letting you turn into a statue, another instance is in Animal Crossing, furniture on the ground in the open world is a leaf, putting it in your house turns the leaf into the actual item. Again, I'm not fully certain about my claim but I think that's it. Hope I helped solve one mystery for you.
