Vintage Japanese Kutani Shishi (Foo Dog) Statue — 1980s, Showa Era
A Striking Symbol of Protection, Strength, and Traditional Craftsmanship

This bold and intricately detailed vintage Japanese Kutani Shishi (Foo Dog) statue dates back to the 1980s, during Japan’s Showa Era. A powerful guardian figure in Japanese and Chinese culture, the Shishi is known to ward off evil spirits and invite good fortune—making it a cherished symbol in both homes and temples.

Expertly crafted in Kutani ware ceramic, this statue features a rich white glaze, dramatic curled mane, and fierce expression. The Shishi is perched atop a vividly decorated red orb adorned with traditional Kutani-style patterns and gilded accents, adding a luxurious and protective presence to any space.

Whether placed in an entryway, living room, or display shelf, this piece makes a powerful statement while honoring centuries of Japanese artistic tradition.
