Japanese Antique Wooden Raccoon Figurine / 1868-1920 / Good Luck Charm
About the Item
I would like to introduce a very interesting Japanese old wooden kimono.
This is a wooden figurine in the shape of a tanuki.
The raccoon dog has long been recognized as an auspicious object in Japan.
They are painted or carved as animals that ward off evil, invite happiness, harmonious marriages, prosperous business, etc.
This item also features a raccoon dog standing on two legs and holding one hand in a beckoning cat-like pose.
The raccoon dog that brings happiness is plump and has a very swollen belly.
It's also very interesting that they wear kimonos and look like humans.
Since it is very old, there are cracks in the wood and traces of insect bites.
How about putting it in your home or shop as a good luck charm?

- Great Wood Carving Lion Figurine / 1868-1920 / Rare ItemLocated in Sammu-shi, ChibaThis looks like an old copperware, but it is a wood carving work. It is glossy because it is finished with black lacquer. It is a very delicate and beautiful sculpture. The expression of the lion is cool. Also, the sculpture on the tail is wonderful. It is thought that it was carved on wood such as Japanese cypress. The name of the engraver is also engraved. The name "Kichitaro" is engraved. I don't know the details of this person. There are also small cracks and defects. There is a loss in the lower part of his right ear and part of his tail. And there are lacquer cracks and wood cracks. This is an old one, so there is something like this. Also, in the case of Japanese and Chinese lions, a ball is attached to the left hand, but this is missing. However, it is a work that is quite impressive. It is a rare item...Category
