Description
A Japanese guardian lion statue for indoor display

- Small: approximately 7.5 cm high
- Medium: approximately 15 cm high
- Large: approximately 25 cm high
Select a size on this page before adding the statue to your cart. Full dimensions and weight depend on the chosen size and are available in the Details section. Measure your display space before choosing.
Sold individually: a quantity of 1 means one Komainu statue, not a pair.
Komainu and Foo Dog
Komainu is the Japanese term for these lion-dog guardian figures. “Foo Dog” is a broader English shopping term for Asian guardian lions. This Dai Yokai piece is specifically inspired by Japanese Komainu imagery.
It is a contemporary decorative interpretation made in France, not an antique or official shrine statue. Read the Komainu and Foo Dog guide for the cultural background.
Made and finished in Brittany
Each statue is made to order in the Dai Yokai workshop in Brittany, France. Its PETG base is printed, prepared, sanded, hand-painted with acrylic colors and protected with varnish. The current making time is 2 to 4 weeks before dispatch.
The overall shape stays consistent, while painted shadows, shades and small finish details can vary slightly because each piece is finished by hand.
Display and care
Place the statue indoors on a stable surface. It is a PETG decorative object, rather than a concrete or stone garden sculpture. Keep it away from moisture, strong heat and prolonged direct sunlight. Dust it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Compare the other shapes and formats in the Japanese statues and figurines collection. If the statue must fit a precise space, check the measurements for your selected size or contact the workshop before ordering.
