One of the pair of guardians at Todaiji temple in Nara, Japan. Ah and Un are their names and Ah always has its mouth open while Un has its mouth closed. These sculptures are amazing and are one of my favourite sites in Japan. Many people go for the giant temple behind them and one of the world's largest Buddha statues inside, but these are my favourite part of the temple. And they're huge, about 4 meters tall.
