Japanese Raccoon Dog for a $15 Ko-fi supporter

I will overlook it when tanuki are drawn with striped tails and still enjoy the art. It's not a new thing.

But when I stop to think about it - it does annoy me a bit.

I found some pictures where they have darker spots in the tail fur that maybe looks a bit like a stripe, but it's def not a clear pattern like it is with raccoons

MOST PERFECT WILD ANIMALS OBI (sold out in a blink, pattern is so rare how lucky is the new owner of this beauty!).

Beautifully handpainted on cream ground, you can see many kinds of beasts found in Japan like:

kurokuma (black bear), kistune (fox), tanuki (raccoon dog), inoshishi (boar), saru (monkey), itachi (weasel)

shika (deer), kiji (pheasant), risu (squirrel), usagi (rabbit)

a black and white beast I am not sure I recognize, maybe a ten (marten), it sure doesn't look like anaguma (badger)?

this obi even has azarashi (seal!!!)

OP paired it with a soft cool tones kimono showing water scenery with water fowl. I would have LOVED a bolder outfit (deep red or true green?), maybe with bamboo grove/trees or toyama (distant mountain) patterns :D

White Tanuki

[jstor]

Netsuke are miniature sculptures originating in 17th-century Japan. These are just four quirky examples that caught our eye, but you can find nearly 4,000 open images on JSTOR of these beautiful objects.

PS The second image is of Tanuki, a mischievous raccoon dog in Japanese mythology commonly associated with excessive drinking and gluttony. This ivory netsuke depicts Tanuki carrying, um, his grossly enlarged scrotum.

The three images with black backgrounds come from the Wellcome Collection and the white one is from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, two open access collections on JSTOR.

forgot to say that a little bit ago i stocked up on some of the stickers that had been on pre-order in my store! So if you want to grab one right nows a good time bc i can just send them out right away instead of having to wait for them to mail to me first (which in my experience so far tends to take a while)
