Large Shigaraki Ware Tanuki Garden Ornament
Standing at a substantial 66cm, this vintage Showa Era Tanuki is a classic example of Shigaraki-yaki craftsmanship. Hand-moulded with the region's signature coarse, iron-rich clay, he embodies the "Eight Blessings" of good fortune, including the straw hat for protection and a sake flask for virtue. The earthy, textured glaze and cheerful expression make this a perfect statement piece for a garden or shop entrance to invite prosperity.
