Lion Dance Lion Head Life-Sized Adult

Please note that this item is made to order and will take approximately one month to create.

A Shishimai (lion dance) that both adults and children can enjoy.

Size: Approximately 30cm (width) x 30cm (height) x 30cm (depth)
Weight: 800g
Materials: Styrofoam and paper clay
Colors: Red lion, Black lion (photos provided for reference!)
*Color can also be customized to match your event, so please feel free to consult with us.

We also show the process of how the Shishimai is made from styrofoam.

I wanted one for personal use during events, but I couldn't find any, and the ones I did find cost hundreds of thousands of yen. That's why I decided to make one myself!

Instead of wood carving, this Shishimai is made with a base of styrofoam and paper clay, making it very lightweight and perfect for children to experience Shishimai.

While this is not a traditional, authentic Shishimai, we hope you'll consider it a fun item that allows you to easily experience Shishimai and liven up your events.

Creation Process:
1. Cut styrofoam into the shape of a Shishimai.
2. The teeth are made of wood so they make a kankan sound when the mouth closes.
3. Form the face with paper clay.
4. Cover the entire surface with Japanese paper in a papier-mâché style.
5. Painting.
6. Applying varnish.
7. Attaching the wig with glue.
8. Attaching the arabesque furoshiki (175cm large) with duct tape.
9. Attaching the Nishijin-ori apron with duct tape.

This is a handmade item, so there are rough areas in the details.
There may be parts secured with packing tape,
incomplete paint coverage,
slight dimensional discrepancies,
and other imperfections.
However, the overall presence is as shown in the photos.
We kindly ask that those who are particular about details refrain from purchasing.

We can accommodate various needs, such as:
- Use for facility events
- Use for company events
- Allowing children to experience Shishimai
We are happy to cooperate as much as possible if our Shishimai can be of service to someone!
