Colorful Auspicious Dog Figurine
This handcrafted figurine is an auspicious stoneware piece inspired by the traditional komainu, also known as a guardian lion dog. Its design is based on the shape of the inuhariko, a dog-shaped figure typically made from paper, but this version is crafted from durable stoneware. The matte finish, adorable rounded design, and vibrant colors make this piece a charming addition to your home, making it perfect for everyday enjoyment.
The inuhariko figurine serves as a charm imbued with the wish for children’s healthy growth and well-being. Inspired by the original form of the komainu, it is also used as a talisman for protection against misfortune and evil spirits.
