Suddenly-ワンワン!-a playful dog (
the full Dog kanji
) leaps up, snatches the meatball, and dashes off toward a bright red inuhariko charm at a shrine gate.
Every time you see Dog, remember: it’s a “large” presence with a “dot” of wild energy, echoing through history from ancient dogū to Hachikō’s loyalty, always chasing joy and wagging stories behind.
