Vintage Japanese Shigaraki Female Tanuki — 1950s, Showa Era
A Whimsical Guardian with a Gentle Heart

With wide eyes full of curiosity and charm, this vintage Shigaraki tanuki figure radiates joy, humility, and a dash of mischief. Unlike the typical male tanuki seen in Japanese folklore, this rare female rendition offers a softer spirit—one rooted in hospitality and nurturing energy. Her endearing expression and rounded form invite warmth into any home.

Handcrafted in the historic Shigaraki kiln region, this ceramic tanuki is more than a decoration—it is a protector of good fortune, a bringer of light-hearted moments, and a symbol of feminine luck and abundance. She stands as a delightful reminder of the small joys that make life whole.
