Vintage Japanese Shigaraki Tanuki Statue — 1980s, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-504-5)

A guardian of laughter with stories in its smile

Worn yet watchful, this vintage Shigaraki tanuki features a minimalist design with bold contrasts between dark glaze and cream-toned belly. With hands tucked modestly at its sides, it evokes a quieter, more serene version of the usually jovial tanuki. Its kanji-marked flask and scroll still remain, symbols of welcome and wealth.

Whether perched at the entrance of a countryside shop or watching over a garden nook, this tanuki has absorbed the whispers of wind and time. Now, it seeks a new home where it can once again bring warmth and charm.
