This listing is for a whimsical earthenware moneybox with paper storage box. It is made of low fired earthenware and is moulded to resemble a pair of tanuki. There’s a coin slot in the back but it does not come with a rubber stopper in the bottom. This piece was made using a slip mould, so there’s a small hole in the bottom covered with green felt.
Tanuki are generally considered to bring good luck and are characterized as having eight traits. The straw hat protects against trouble, the big eyes are for surveying the environment and making good decisions, the sake bottle symbolizes virtue, the big tail provides stability and strength, the very large testicles symbolize financial luck and big sacks of money, the promissory note signifies trust, the large belly indicates the ability to make good decisions under pressure, and finally they are friendly with a warm smile.
