Old Japan Large Folkart Hero Tanuki Raccoon Dog Garden Sculpture

About the Item

An old, large-scale, and big bellied Folk art Hero Tanuki- raccoon dog party animal from Japan, glazed pottery. Dimensions: 38 inches high Quality: Fine quality and hecarries a 19th century sake pottery bottle which is included. Now hard to find these large-scale early examples. Great garden candidate! History: The Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), also known as tanuki (狸 or たぬき [tanɯki]?) in Japanese, is a subspecies of the Asian raccoon dog. As tanuki, this animal has been significant in Japanese folklore since ancient times. The legendary tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absentminded. It is also a common theme in Japanese art, especially statuary and can be commonly seen in businesses as cultural symbols. Schneible Fine Arts has been dealing in fine authentic Japanese antiques including screens, garden ornaments, lanterns and water basins for many years. Mr. Schneible personally travels to Japan each year to meet his network partners who assist him in finding best examples. He personally inspects each antique to ensure its old age, authenticity, and quality condition. After accumulating a group, they are imported to Vermont and Maine in large containers. This method keeps shipping costs low and coupled with our modest gallery overhead enables us to offer works of art to you at reasonable prices. We carefully pack and ship to clients all-over the USA and at reasonable shipping costs. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our Asian works of art come with our Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee. We are members of the North American Japanese Garden Association (NAJGA) specializing for ten years now in old and authentic Japanese stone garden ornaments.
