Characterful ceramic figure of a traditional Japanese tanuki, crafted in the 1960s – likely in Shigaraki, a region renowned for its rich ceramic tradition and playful tanuki figures.
Dimensions: height 29 cm, width 23 cm, depth 19 cm.
Condition: Good vintage condition.
This charming tanuki wears a traditional mino (Japanese straw raincoat), a straw hat, and holds real straw sandals in one paw.
In Japanese folklore, the round belly and lively expression symbolize good fortune, abundance, and carefree spirit.
The crackled glaze on the body and the hand-painted details give the figure an authentic and warm character.
A playful and meaningful figure that fits beautifully in both traditional Japanese settings and eclectic interiors.
A unique decorative collectible for lovers of Japanese culture, folklore, and vintage ceramics.
