This is a tiger clay bell sold on Mount Kurama in Kyoto. The komainu (guardian lion-dogs) at Kurama-dera Temple are not komainu, but tigers. Tigers are said to be the divine beasts that serve Bishamonten, one of the principal deities. Because Bishamonten appeared in the month of the tiger, on the day of the tiger, and at the hour of the tiger, tigers are especially revered on Mount Kurama. ◼︎Size: 7cm (height) x 5cm (width) x 4.5cm (depth) Although it is new and unused, it has taken on the scent of incense, like sandalwood, because it was stored with incense. Thank you for your understanding. Packing will use recycled materials.
