Whimsical and full of charm, this vintage ceramic tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog) dates to the 1950s and was crafted in Japan during the Showa period. Depicted seated and cradling a large mushroom, the figure wears a green robe and displays the playful expression and wide-eyed gaze characteristic of traditional tanuki imagery.

A symbol of good fortune, mischief, and abundance in Japanese folklore, this piece was likely made as a decorative household item or shop talisman. Its hand-painted glaze and subtle aging give it a warm, rustic appeal.
