Komainu Shibuya Hikawa Shrine

It originated from statues of lions in Persia and India. The origin of the lion statue in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia is also believed to be the origin of the lion statue guarding the sanctuary. According to Meiji Shrine, the origin of the lion statue can be traced back to the ancient Orient and India, and there was a fashion in the ancient Orient countries to use lions as holy objects and guardians of gods and thrones, and the Sphinx is a good example.
