Shishi (or Jishi) is translated as "lion” but it can also refer to a deer or dog with magical properties and the power to repel evil spirits. A pair of shishi traditionally stand guard outside the gates of Japanese Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. The Shishi (like the Nio) are traditionally depicted in pairs, one with mouth open and one with mouth shut.

Happy Shishi “Friday”

It’s been a busy week for me and I’m ready for the weekend. Thank you for spending your valuable time visiting Hebrew by Inbal and for the new members of the community I’m grateful you joined!

Wishing all a safe and peaceful weekend. I’ll be here ready to share Hebrew learning.

A little further along on this piece., but happy enough that it's inspired me to make a little series of #petportraits in memory of a few #pets I've had. All my cats have been rescues and given to me.
