Description

Location: near Sunabe Seawall, by Kadena Air Base in Chatan, Okinawa, Japan

In Okinawa, you see pairs of shisa outside of almost every home or business. They are called the Guardian Lions of Okinawa...though they are sometimes referenced as "lion-dogs" too.

The closed-mouth shisa is supposed to keep good spirits in. The open-mouthed shisa, also in my collection, is the male who is meant to scare away evil spirits.

These can be hung as a pair near entrances of the home or office.
