appearance, the original Tosa from Tosa-Wan is of spitz lineage with a shaggy coat, erect ears and a tail that curles over the hindquarters, similar to the modern Akita and Shiba-inu.

- Tosa-Wan (Tosa Bay) located on the Japanese Island of Shikoku.

Has anyone been to the beaches of Tosa-Wan in Shikoku ? Stunning. Especially around Shimanto.
