Shoki (鍾馗)

This is a guardian deity called Shoki (鍾馗) who is commonly found over the entrance to traditional Kyoto houses and shops, and is an import from Chinese mythology.

Thanks for your visit. I am away until the 29th of December. I've pre-posted images and will respond to comments and visit your blogs after I get back.
