Vintage Japanese Raccoon (Tanuki) Statue — 1950, Showa Era
Symbol of Luck, Joy, and Playful Prosperity

This striking vintage Japanese raccoon dog statue, known as tanuki, was handcrafted during the 1950s Showa Era and radiates folkloric charm and rustic personality. With exaggerated features, wide eyes, and a plump belly, this large ceramic figure embodies the mythical qualities of the tanuki—an iconic creature in Japanese culture believed to bring good fortune, business prosperity, and cheerfulness.

Standing proudly with a sake bottle and promissory scroll, this piece is adorned with a traditional straw hat and hand-painted accents in earthy tones, conveying a story of lighthearted mischief and abundant blessings. Its generous size and expressive form make it a commanding decorative statement for gardens, entryways, restaurants, or collectors of Japanese folk art.
