Look at this cute pair! They are 'shisa' from the Okinawa Islands, the western-most prefecture in Japan.I received them as a gift, along with some beautiful handmade glasses. Thank you so much N! :) Such a lovely surprise for the beginning of the year.
Shisa are lion dogs that probably originated in China. You can read all about them at this website --> http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/6330/Shisa.html
I put my new little pets in the genkan 'entrance room'. I hope they will protect my house and bring me good luck!
