"Shisa" are traditional Okinawan guardian creatures, a mix of lion and dog, commonly placed in pairs on roofs, gates, and at entries to protect from evil spirits and bring good fortune. The open mouth (man) Shisa at right scares away evil; the closed-mouth (woman) Shisa at left keeps happiness in.
My Shisa are original designs made of kiln-fired clay, and each is the only one of its kind. These two are modern-day Shisa: a retired daddy and a working mom on the phone (so her mouth is open!). As with all my Shisa,
I’ve filled these with wishes for happiness and a peaceful soul.
