Ce type de sujet est fr\u00e9quent dans la statuaire nippone, cette pi\u00e8ce en particulier rappelle les bronzes animaliers archa\u00efques. Le chiot est n\u00e9anmoins trait\u00e9 avec un grand sens du d\u00e9tail notamment pour simuler la texture de la fourrure ou encore le collier et le grelot qu\u2019il porte autour du cou. Le chien est un des douze animaux du zodiaque chinois rev\u00eat une forte symbolique partout en Asie.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Au Japon, le chien symbolise la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 et la f\u00e9condit\u00e9.\u00a0 Il est connu pour avoir des accouchements tr\u00e8s faciles et de nombreuses prog\u00e9nitures.\u202fPour cette raison il est souvent associ\u00e9 aux femmes enceintes et \u00e0 l\u2019enfantement de mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. Le sanctuaire le plus populaire parmi les femmes enceintes, est celui\u202fSuitengu\u202f\u6c34\u5929\u5bae \u00e0 Tokyo. Selon la l\u00e9gende, le chef du gouvernement de l\u2019\u00e9poque donna un chien comme cadeau \u00e0 la famille\u202fArima\u202f\u6709\u99ac pour les remercier d\u2019avoir offert le terrain n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 la construction du sanctuaire. Le chef du clan Arima \u00e9tait si \u00e9mu par ce cadeau qu\u2019il se faisait toujours accompagn\u00e9 de ce chien lorsqu\u2019il organisait son d\u00e9fil\u00e9 (la famille Arima \u00e9tait un chef de fief de la r\u00e9gion du sud). Et parmi les gens qui regardaient ce chien dans le d\u00e9fil\u00e9, nombreux furent ceux qui l\u2019associ\u00e8rent \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9dification du temple le transformant au cours du temps en symbole du sanctuaire.\u00a0 Encore aujourd\u2019hui de nombreuses femmes enceintes visitent le temple. Et si on suit strictement la coutume, il faut se rendre au sanctuaire au 1er jour du chien du 5\u00e8me mois de sa grossesse.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

This kind of subject is common in traditional Nippon sculptures, this specific piece reminds of archaic bronze sculptures. Nevertheless, the puppy is treated with a great sense of detail, especially to represent the texture of the fur and the jingle hanging from the collar on its neck. Being among the twelve animals of the traditional Chinese zodiac, dogs are attached to a prominent symbolism all over Asia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Japan the dog is an animal that symbolizes loyalty and fidelity but at the same time it is also a symbol of high fertility because it is known to have a lot of offsprings with few miscarriages. For this reason, it is often associated to pregnant women and the fact of giving birth in general. The most popular sanctuary among Japanese expecting mother is the Suitengu\u202f\u6c34\u5929\u5bae temple located in Tokyo. According to the legend, the head of the city council gave a puppy to the\u202fArima\u202f\u6709\u99ac family to thank them for the gift of the land on which the sanctuary was to be built. The leader of the Arima clan was so moved by this gesture that he chose to never appear again in public events or to its annual parade without its companion (the Arima family was at the top of a feudal fief of the south region). And among the people attending this parade, many of them who saw the dog next to its owner tend to associate it with the erection of the temple and slowly, one year after another it became symbol of the sanctuary. Even today a large amount of expecting mothers visit the temple, the tradition states that you should visit the sanctuary on the first day of the dog of the fifth month of pregnancy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
