Traditional Tanuki Statue made from Shigaraki Pottery
This Tanuki statue, crafted from Shigaraki clay, represents a mythical creature from Japanese folklore.
Dimensions: height 41 cm, width 32 cm, depth 23 cm.
Made from glazed Shigaraki clay, this Tanuki exudes a rustic charm.
The Tanuki is a mischievous Japanese raccoon dog with magical powers, featuring a large belly, an enlarged scrotum, and a sake bottle.
In Japan, Tanuki statues are placed at the entrances of homes, shops, and restaurants for good luck, protection, and prosperity.
Tanuki belong to the yokai, mythical beings known for their mischief, mastery of disguise, and shape-shifting abilities, yet they are also easily tricked. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
from
