Vintage Japanese Shigaraki Garden Tanuki (23M-122)
Vintage Japanese Tanuki statues that look like a monk with a big tail are ceramic or porcelain figurines that depict the Tanuki in the form of a Buddhist monk, but with the addition of a large, exaggerated tail. In Japanese folklore, Tanuki are often depicted with large, plump bodies and oversized testicles, which are considered symbols of good fortune and prosperity.
The Tanuki monk statues with a big tail are usually decorated with colorful glazes, intricate patterns, and detailed features, showcasing the skill and creativity of Japanese artisans. They are popular collectibles and decorative items, and their value may depend on factors such as age, rarity, condition, and provenance.
The exaggerated tail on these Tanuki monk statues is often depicted with different embellishments, such as patterns, bells, or symbols of good luck. In Japanese culture, the Tanuki is also associated with transformation and mischief, so it is not uncommon to find variations of these statues with different poses or expressions, adding to their charm and whimsy.
This statue will welcome guests and add great charm to your home.
