The open-mouthed male is said to invite good fortune, while the closed-mouthed female is said to keep good fortune from escaping. Placing them at the entrance or on the veranda is believed to ward off evil from the outside. In apartment buildings and other multi-unit dwellings, they can also be placed on the floor of a bay window or hallway. When placing them, the male should be on the right and the female on the left when viewed from the front. Placing them in reverse is said to cause the female to repel happiness and the male to lose the current happiness. A glass dome hangs from their necks. Shisa are guardian deities of Okinawa, believed to protect homes and villages from evil spirits and disasters. White Shisa are said to be particularly effective in improving financial luck and relationships, and in promoting new beginnings.
