Gate

This gatekeeper's name is SHESAA. In Okinawa, it is decorated on the roof as a guardian deity of a house or a village. Although here is not Okinawa, it is a boom among neighbors. What is your gatekeeper?

Thank you for a comment. Yes, I am a Japanese, and learned Chinese a little bit. The lion of your photograph resembles the MAA lion of Singapore. The culture of Asia has received influence mutually. I hear the root of shesaa is also in China. I want to visit your blog for the second time. You too.
