Thank you for your question. I am very sorry to respond promptly. In Japan, there are two types with respect to the lion dancing. The first type is that a pair of two persons dances for a lion. In this case, the lion have four legs. The second type is that only one person dances for a lion. In that case, the lion has two legs, i.e., no back legs. So, the picture posted is the second case. If you have any question, do not hesitate to ask. We will endeavour to respond in English. Thank you.
