Description
Traditional Ryukyuan-Okinawan "Shisa" lion-dog decoration with non-traditional German snow Mohawk hairdo in Stuttgart-Plieningen after 17 inches of December snowfall. This mundane photo is interesting to me since this Ryukyuan Shisa Dog was originally given to us by our Okinawan landlord (who has since passed away after suffering a stroke) in a much warmer climate but 5 years later this icon made it through two international moves to end up in the cold climate of Germany. The snow-hawk is an extra touch of climate change for our precious gold-painted concrete form as a talisman to "keep the good spirits" in the house with the dog's mouth closed.
