ππ½ New Shibacorn on the Block
This art piece is inspired by the omnipresent Shiba Inu in the cryptocurrency world - whether it is the Dogecoin or Shiba Inu coin. The Shiba Inu has become a meme icon of cryptocurrency.
Shiba Inu (ζ΄η¬) is a Japanese breed of dog originating in the ChΕ«bu region. While "Inu" means dog in Japanese, "Shiba" means brushwood in Japanese. The Shiba Inu was used primarily as a hunting dog to flush out small game and birds for hunters. There are several theories about how Shiba Inu got his name. One explanation is that Shiba means "brushwood;" the dogs were named for the brushwood bushes they hunted.
Shiba Inus are known for their spirited and bold personalities. These confident dogs are alert, active, and highly intelligent. The Japanese use three words to describe this breed; kaani-i, which refers to their bold spirit, ryosei, which means they have a good nature, and soboku means to be alert.
The Shiba Inu is particularly popular among the six breeds of Japanese dogs designated as national natural treasures. What captures the hearts of people is absolute loyalty to its master.
All hail the Shibacorn ππ½!
