Komainu - Yojimbo. Yojimbo, bodyguards, guard the temple they are assigned to and the numerous visitors they receive each year.

You can help support my work by picking up the Shikigami digital art book on my gumroad! You can also help by sharing my work with your friends! The goal is to do more work like Shikigami on a more frequent and regular basis so anything helps.
