This mischievous Tanuki is pictured with his straw hat tied around his neck, a set of promissory notes, pot belly and a sake bottle.
Another thing Tanuki are famous for are their, errr... large scrotums.
This one is standing brash and bold with his domed scrotum on show.
 
A Tanuki's scrotum is said to be a charm for propserity in money and business and statues of Tanuki can be found prevalently outside of businesses and restaurants in Japan.
 
This Brooch features a variety of hand casted swirled acrylics as well as domed acrylic details.
