The deep meaning and sacred origin of Komainu
Since ancient times, Komainu have been worshipped as sacred guardian deities that protect the sacred grounds of Japanese shrines.
Its origins date back to ancient Chinese lion statues, and after being introduced to Japan during the Heian period, it has developed in its own unique way.
Komainu statues are placed in pairs on the approach to a shrine or in front of the main hall, and are tasked with preventing the intrusion of evil spirits and watching over worshippers.
The pair of "A-gata" with its open mouth and "Un-gata" with its closed mouth represent the beginning and end of the universe and symbolize the all-encompassing power of God.
This small Komainu strap is imbued with such sacred protective powers and is popular as a special talisman that protects the wearer from misfortune and brings good fortune.
