this is a japanese raccoon dog/tanuki and bluebird appreciation post. they have nothing to do with each other, i just think they're both really cute.

Day 24 of Stream Ink is Luck Day, and this special little tanuki is here to bring you lots of good fortune! (Please note that while I do know that the tanuki's magic is said to be stored in the balls, I wasn’t sure if painting them in would get me sent to internet jail)

Sorry (is actually not sorry at all)

DAY 7: TANUKI

also known as Japanese Racoon Dog, or Nyctereutes viverrinus

Fun Fact: the words Tanuki and Mujina can both be used to refer to either tanukis or japanese badgers. like one region might call the japanese raccoon dog Tanuki whereas another region might call it Mujina, and vice versa for japanese badges

The contrast between the title and the image make this a true piece of journalism

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

me and my fiance watched the studio ghibli movie pom poko (surprisingly i just heard about it for the first time the other day) and i honestly loved it so much, it gave me big tanuki shifts and i loved seeing all the japanese folklore!! although the english dub did call them "raccoons" the whole time which is sad.. but it's okay!! amazing movie and def will watch again
