Guardian Beast

Stone statues of beasts can often be found paired and standing guard on either side of an entryway. While some are merely lifeless statues, others are far more than they appear to be.

Guardian beasts; can take many forms. For example, Tian-Min culture calls upon the service of stone guardian dogs to guard their temples. Shrines to Daikitsu, the Lady of Foxes, on the other hand, use stone guardian foxes.
