Description
Japanese Shishi Odoshi, or more commonly known as a Deer scarer.
Features two wooden support posts to hold the pivoting bamboo deer scarer and an Upright bamboo water spout. The round support posts are supplied ‘over length’ so that the lower part can be dug into the ground for stability and the end of the pivoting bamboo cane would rest on a flat top rock (not part of the kit). As the open end of the pivoting cane fills with water from the upright bamboo spout, it tilts forward and spills the water. Once empty, the pivoting bamboo cane returns to its original position making a loud ‘clack’ on the rock to scare the deer from the fields.
To make the Deer scarer work, you would also require our water feature kit which includes a water reservoir, a piece of pond liner, and a 900L submersible water pump. We have two size options for the water reservoir, both are suitable for a shishi odoshi. The larger reservoir holds more water, reducing the risk of the tank running dry. The pump must always be fully submerged in water.
