This is the 2nd of 4 What is This posts? I thought this might generate some interest but not so far. Today's "What is this" is a great gift from my son and daughter-in-law. Perhaps inspired by Chinese statues that merge a lion and a dog, the Okinawan Shisa differ slightly. They are very popular. The females traditionally have mouths closed and males have mouth opened. They are typically shown in pairs and are protectors.
Cool article. Long but definitely aligned with my own Personal Truth. Thank you.
