This Tanuki statue, crafted from Shigaraki clay, represents a mythical creature from Japanese folklore.

The Tanuki is a mischievous Japanese raccoon dog with magical powers, featuring a large belly, an enlarged scrotum, and a sake bottle. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
