Inuhariko are pairs of papier-mâché dogs that were placed as guardians of a sort near the pillows of infants and young children. In Japan, dogs were considered to be protectors of safe childbirth, so they are found in rituals related to birth and to children’s growth. Later, inuhariko began to appear in Doll Festival displays.
