This item is crocheted with acrylic yarn, with some parts made of cotton yarn. 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. They are holding fans. Shisa are guardian deities of Okinawa, believed to protect homes and villages from evil spirits and disasters. The "gray" color of the "Shisa" is generally thought to add the "psychological meaning of gray" to the role of the Shisa itself, which means "warding off evil" and "protection." Gray has psychological effects such as "ambiguity," "hesitation," and "calmness," and when combined with Shisa, it may be perceived as a more complex and sophisticated amulet. *Please refer to this when placing them.
