Vintage Japanese Shigaraki Tanuki Figurine — 1950s, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-504-6)

In simplicity, the heart of folk tradition

This charming tanuki departs from the traditional accessories and leans into a more abstract form—its expression more innocent, its lines smoother. Likely intended for home use or as a child’s decorative figurine, this piece offers a soft, almost naïve interpretation of the tanuki spirit, complete with a painted pouch and vibrant yet gentle palette.

The wide-eyed gaze and curved posture suggest friendliness and protection, while subtle cracks in the paint only add to its authenticity and quiet age.
