This is yesterday’s little buddy. My camera didn’t have a wide angle lens which is why you don’t get quite the full picture in either image. They were housed in the Niōmon (仁王門), each in a separate box that looks more like a giant, wooden cage. I stuck my camera through the “cage” to take the pictures.

I took the pictures from six feet off the groud. They must have been a couple feet off the ground and about 8-10 feet tall from head to toe.
