A Kutani-yaki Karajishi lion. A folk spectacle of dancing while wearing a lion mask is also called "Shishi Kagura" and is popular as an ancient dance for keeping away evil. This dance was introduced from the Tang Dynasty to Japan, along with Bugaku and Sangaku, around the time of the Nara period. Karajishi lion masterpieces from the treasure house of the Maeda family from the Kaga Domain still exist. This Kutani-yaki lion mimics these ancient works making use of the traditional beauty and techniques of Kutani-yaki. This Karajishi lion that is rich in manliness and humor is an ornament suitable for the architectural beauty of modern Japanese and Western rooms as well as old-fashioned Japanese spaces.
