{"product_id":"shp292-shikishi-artwork-dog-of-toyama-富山","title":"SHP292 - Shikishi artwork dog of Toyama 富山","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful shikishi artwork by 富子 (Tomiko) depicts a stylized 富山古代犬 (Toyama Kodai-ken)—an “ancient dog of Toyama”—rendered with warmth, charm, and a touch of folk-art sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDogs have long been cherished as protectors of safe childbirth and the healthy growth of children, or as warders against evil spirits. Therefore, in papier-mâché dogs, folk toys, and paintings, dogs are often depicted with rounded, endearing forms and decorative expressions, sometimes differing slightly from real dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround its neck, the dog wears a richly colored decorative collar composed of layered, leaf-like motifs in vivid hues of red, green, yellow, purple, and blue. These patterns evoke both festive ornamentation and protective symbolism, suggesting the dog as a guardian figure or auspicious charm. The small bell at the center further reinforces this idea, traditionally associated with warding off misfortune and inviting good luck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is set against a luminous gold ground shaped like a folding fan, a classic motif in Japanese art symbolizing celebration, prosperity, and unfolding fortune. The shimmering background elevates the otherwise simple subject, giving it a ceremonial and auspicious presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 24 X 27cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57061548589387,"sku":"SHP292","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_1e7ea5a7-c9f6-4b63-908f-834272b62b96.jpg?v=1776528846","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/es\/products\/shp292-shikishi-artwork-dog-of-toyama-%e5%af%8c%e5%b1%b1","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
