Okayama Prefecture Kibitsu Shrine Komainu Clay Dolls Brand new, unopened. It's in a box, and I've kept it at home without opening the wrapping. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or seeking perfection, as this is a home-stored item. Explanation) "Kibitsu Komainu," which has been loved for a long time as a gift from Kibitsu Shrine in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture. It is a set of three small clay dolls: two Komainu and one bird. "Komainu" are believed to ward off theft and fire, protect against wild beasts, and have spiritual efficacy for children's night crying. The "bird" is said to prevent choking when placed on a meal tray during meals, and is considered a good luck charm for protecting the home and body. #KibitsuShrine #Komainu #ClayDolls #LocalToys
