Shijin is a reproduction of a model used in the early Showa era (AD1926–89) called the “Balance-type body with Lacquer Band Decoration.”
The lacquer band decoration is adorned with the Shijin, the “guardians of the four directions of heaven,” which represent the microcosm established by the people of ancient China. These four divine beasts preside over their respective directions: Seiryu(Azure Dragon) of the East, Byakko(White Tiger) of the West, Suzaku(Phoenix) of the South, and Genbu(Black Tortoise with Snake) of the North.
