1185 1333 Kamakura Period Pair Polychromy Traces

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pair of Koma-inu Guardian Lion-Dogs, originating from Japan during the Kamakura Period (1185-1333). Crafted with wood and adorned with traces of polychromy, these exquisite sculptures stand at an impressive overall height of 49.6 cm (19 1/2 in. ). The Koma-inu, also known as guardian lion-dogs, hold great significance in Japanese culture as protectors against evil spirits and misfortune. These majestic creatures are often seen flanking the entrances of temples, shrines, and other sacred places. In this photograph, the intricate details of these mythical beasts come to life. The masterful craftsmanship is evident in their fierce expressions and muscular bodies. Each stroke of polychromy adds vibrancy to their appearance while highlighting their divine presence. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to ancient Japan when these magnificent lion-dogs stood tall as symbols of strength and protection. Their stoic poses exude power and authority while instilling a sense of awe within us. This print serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved through artistry. It reminds us that even centuries later, these guardian lion-dogs continue to captivate our imagination with their timeless beauty and unwavering guardianship over sacred spaces.
