Komainu(Guardian Lion-Dog) are stone statues found in Japanese shrines. The design is of a dynamic komainu which stand on theirs head. They are adorned on both ears to ward off evil spirits. Length approx. 13.1cm Width approx. 3.1cm Designed by SabiSuke(Kan-Chi-Gai) === SanNgai's accessories are manufactured using proprietary technology with a "structure similar to actual neon signs in Greater China". (Patent pending). In order to create a neon sign that looks like a real neon sign in Asia (especially Hong Kong), it is essential to reproduce a neon sign tube that is away from the colour plate and seems to float in mid-air. This accessory, especially Kanji area, is made to float in acrylic to reproduce a "luminous tubes at a distance from the colour plate". Because it is made from acrylic, the letters are reflected when light enters from the sides. This reproduces the unique layered feel of an actual neon sign when viewed from an angle, and also incorporates the feature that the colour plate itself does not emit light. In addition, there is blurring in the background area. This is a complementary feature, as the 'floating Kanji area' do not emit the blur of the actual luminescence. This is also to bring it closer to an actual neon sign. Try pressing a mobile phone light, for example, against the side of the sign! The letters will appear emitted light.
