Vintage Japanese Female Raccoon (Tanuki) — 1980, Showa Era
Symbol of Luck, Joy, and Prosperity

Charming and full of character, this vintage Japanese female raccoon—or tanuki—figurine from the 1980s Showa Era is a delightful representation of traditional Japanese folklore. With her soft, rounded form, endearing expression, and finely detailed features, she embodies warmth, good fortune, and playful spirit.

Dressed in a straw hat and clutching a sake bottle and promissory note, she represents prosperity and cheer—common qualities associated with tanuki figures, often displayed outside homes and shops to attract luck and customers.

Handcrafted with a glazed ceramic finish, this unique female version of the iconic tanuki adds a whimsical yet culturally rich accent to any space. Whether as a collector’s item or a standout display piece, she brings both charm and tradition into your home.
