#Shigaraki ware #Tanuki #Raccoon dog #Tanuki #Ornament #Interior #Pottery I have kept this at home for many years. Shigaraki-yaki tanuki have long been known as lucky charms that bring good fortune. In particular, the pun on "tanuki" (raccoon dog) and "tanuki" (to remove others) is said to bring benefits such as prosperous business, good luck, and improved financial fortune. A pair of tanuki also has the meaning of "marital harmony" because they have strong love for each other and stay together with their partners. Tanuki pairs are basically monogamous for life, and rarely form other pairs even if they lose their partner. Males and females cooperate in raising their young, and the children born in the spring live close to their families until early autumn. The males also actively participate in raising their young, carrying food and grooming them to protect their families. Please understand that this is a long-term home storage item by an amateur. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous. m(_ _)m #Showa retro #Vintage #Retro #Old #Antique #Marital harmony #Lucky charm #Prosperous business #Good luck #Financial fortune #Halloween on Mercari
