7" Tanuki

Don't be embarrassed about hanging out with a Tanuki, be embarrassed by whatever prank they inevitably play on you! Getting your room completely filled with balloons or discovering that the toilet has been covered in plastic wrap is MUCH more more cringey than being friends with a shapeshifting Japanese raccoon dog! So be proud of your association with this furry trickster! And, um...double check the toilet before using it. 7(w) x 14(d) x 7(h) inches. Polyester fiber, ages 0 and up! "The Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes viverrinus),[1] also known as the tanuki (Japanese: 狸, たぬき, pronounced [taꜜnɯki]), is a species of canid endemic to Japan. While tanuki are prominent in Japanese folklore and proverbs, they were not always clearly distinguished from other animals with a similar appearance. In local dialects, tanuki and mujina (狢, kyujitai: 貉) can refer to raccoon dogs or the Japanese badger. An animal known as tanuki in one region may be known as mujina in another region. In the modern Tokyo standard dialect, tanuki refers to raccoon dogs and anaguma refers to badgers." (Wikipedia) Model not for sale.
