This is a pair of Shigaraki-yaki tanuki (raccoon dog) figurines. Shigaraki-yaki tanuki are known as good luck charms for business prosperity, stemming from the meaning "to surpass others." They embody the "Eight Auspicious Signs," and the hat on this pair of tanuki signifies protection from misfortune. Because of their strong marital love and lifelong companionship, they also represent "marital harmony." They are believed to bring many blessings, including good fortune, luck, success, and protection from evil. They were stored in a box. I think they are in fairly good condition. There are some scratches and stains. Please look at the photos carefully.
