Komainu - lion-dogs…

Komainu or lion-dogs in English, are sacred guardians of shrines and temples protecting them from evil spirits.

Here at Sister Makes, we have recently stocked up on some beautiful fabric featuring these wonderful mythical animals.

A knot bag in black is finished with a brown and green version to follow shortly - all will be available later this week to buy from our website.

I hope you love these as much as I do - I know I would love a Komainu as a pet (although I would quite like a dragon too!).
