Koma Inu double Pin

Explore my Koma Inu double Pin!

Koma inu, the sacred guardians of Shinto shrines, boast a unique appearance that seamlessly blends canine and leonine features. Their magnificent manes and robust physiques make them easily recognizable, and they always appear in pairs. The male Koma inu, with its open mouth representing the sound ‘a,’ has the important duty of guarding the shrine or building itself. On the other hand, the female counterpart features a closed mouth, often adorned with a horn on her head. This horn, symbolizing the sound ‘un,’ closely associates itself with the protection of the shrine’s inhabitants. What’s particularly fascinating is that in Japan, the combined sounds ‘a’ and ‘un’ hold a special significance, revered as ‘om,’ a mystical syllable signifying both the beginning and the end of all things.
