Pair of stone guardian dogs (top dog) of the Shinto shrine

Watercolor

I made a pair of stone guardian dogs of Hikawa Shrine of the house nearby a picture. I played in the days of a child badly. The pair of stone guardian dogs (top dog) is the image of the Japanese unique beast similar to a lion and the dog. Two pairs of stone guardian dogs seem to be usually placed on the front of the main shrine of the Shinto shrine and the main hall of a Buddhist temple of the temple for one pair. I go in front of a main shrine, and put the pairs of stone guardian dogs of Hikawa Shrine together and stand. The picture went and described the right side that opened the mouth. By the way, the left person closes a mouth. Is the workmanship of the important painting, but satisfactory dekirudekidehaarimasendeshita.
