This is a Handmade Shigaraki ware tanuki raccoon dog.

This is made from authentic Japanese Shigaraki clay.

This is a raccoon dog raking money with a broom.

It is considered very auspicious and is displayed at the entrance in Japan.

Shigaraki ware (信楽焼) is a type of stoneware pottery made in Shigaraki area, Japan. The kiln is one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan. Although figures representing the tanuki are a popular product included as Shigaraki ware, the kiln and local pottery tradition has a long history.

It is in lovely condition as you can see from the photos and has just been stored so would be great to go to home where it can be on display

Real unique piece and is fantastic
