He (or she) is a guardian of good fortune and serves a similar role to Chinese fu dogs. The red roof tiles are also traditional. To a Japanese person, the Shisa and red tiles would shout “Okinawa!” the same way a fleur-de-lis and Mardi Gras mask would shout “New Orleans” to an American.

Yes, ebidebby, they are Okinawan. We have an Okinawa specialty store here in Fukuoka, where I picked up several of the things I sent Rosa in an attempt to get her unusual/local things to sample. Rosa, the brown sugar candy is Okinawan, too… the other Hi-Chews are just from the 100 yen store and looked weird. I have had the brown sugar candy and really enjoyed it, but I haven’t tried these Hi-Chew. Maybe I’ll get one for myself next time I’m nearthe store.

I’m off to link back to you from our blog.

Still want to buy them, though!
