About the Item

This is a very old raccoon dog wood carving made in Japan. This wood carving was made in the early Showa period (1900s to 1940s). It is carved from a single piece of cedar wood. In Japan, there is a culture of placing raccoon dogs in store fronts as a good-luck charm for prosperous business. The long passage of time has made it a very tasteful presence. Its charming expression is very unique. This is a very rare wood carving. Weight 2.5 kg.
