- Shishimai is a lion dance done to ward off evil and plagues. Shishi are Chinese guardian lions also known as lion dogs. Shisa are an Okinawan version of shishi and they can be seen on roofs of homes as protectors as well as other structures.
The Shisa of Okinawa and the shishimai varies from area to area. In some variants the shisa is huge made up of two people as in the case here at a festival in Naha.
I don’t know about everyone else. But this was kind of adorable lol :]

Don't judge a book by it's cover there bud!
im chinese and this is pretty similar to the one we have :)
not surprising as a lot of Chinese culture was imported into Okinawa and Japan especially during the Tang Dynasty
@@RoninDave yeah! it looks closer to the southern variant of the dance
@@ryanteh7001 Are you sure? I would say the southern varient (especially Fut San) gives a different vibe compared to this Japanese dance, or maybe it's just me.

Good performance btw
Yes I live there too They changed it because of the tradition so sabah lion dance is like the original one and Japan's lion dance is a different one.
