Fell in love with the Tanuki statues when we visited Japan so I've been making mini versions, this little tanuki is from last year, carved from antler with silver eyes. Fun facts: Tanuki lore is often centered around them being a shape shifting trickster who likes to drink. Their statues depict them with massive testicles, a bottle of sake and a promissory book (to pay for their drinks). #tanuki #netsuké | Stackhouse Knives
