They are always placed in male and female pairs: the male has an open mouth to scare away evil, while the female has a closed mouth to hold in good spirits, representing the Buddhist concept of "a-un" (beginning and end).
Shisa statues are a variation of Chinese foo dogs (stone lions), which were influenced by the lions introduced
Shisa are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck to homes, businesses, and other structures.
