This is a Shigaraki-yaki tanuki (raccoon dog) figurine. Known as a good luck charm, it is believed to bring benefits such as financial fortune, good luck, warding off evil, and business prosperity. The tanuki figurine, which means "to surpass others," is recommended not only for business success but also for those who want to pass exams, achieve good results in sports or academics, and those who want to win against rivals ⭐︎ Material: Ceramic Size: Height approx. 24.5cm ✖️ Width 18cm ✖️ Belly bulge 16cm * Unit: cm, approximate measurements by a non-professional. It was placed at the entrance of a condominium (photo ⑥), so it hasn't gotten wet in the rain, and I haven't noticed any noticeable stains. There is a 1cm crack at the border of the right hand and belly (photo ⑨). Please understand that this is an old item and there may be oversights before purchasing. *This is only for the larger tanuki. (The small tanuki is also on sale.) *Also, a set of two tanuki (husband and wife) is also on sale. Thank you.
