Displayed on a painted base that reads Hanamaki Shishi Odori (花巻鹿踊), these charming figures are a miniature tribute to a centuries-old ritual dance that blends spirituality, celebration, and theatricality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach figure is adorned in a black costume with dynamic red, white, and blue patterns, wearing a fierce deer mask complete with white \"fur\" and upright bamboo antlers. The costumes replicate the bold attire worn by dancers during the real-life Shishi Odori, which is performed to the beat of taiko drums strapped to the dancers' chests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shishi Odori is often performed during summer festivals and Obon to honor ancestral spirits and pray for a good harvest. The dance mimics the movements of deer — a sacred animal in Japanese folklore — and is both a form of entertainment and a ritual offering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 10 x 4 x 14cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55922534154571,"sku":"FT265","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_d7b3f1c3-401f-40d7-8656-fac84300072d.jpg?v=1763377292","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/ft265-vintage-craft-of-shishi-odori-%e9%b9%bf%e8%b8%8a%e3%82%8a","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
