Project Description
Prunus Wood Netsuke of a Tanuki
Slimmer than some of its kind, it sits back on its haunches with its tail tucked between its hind legs and front paws raised. The expression seems pretty happy. The knot of a cord would sit comfortably and discreetly between the tail and right hind paw. A very pleasing netsuke
