Turns out a tanuki is roughly a raccoon and a dog mashed together, which explains an awful lot about tanuki folklore. The Squishable Tanuki is a big eighteen-inch plush prankster with all of the mischief and none of the property damage.

From Squishable's Kawaii line bright-eyed, unreasonably cute, and built for actual hugging rather than shelf duty. Signature ultra-soft fur, extra-squishy fill, hand-sewn, and safe for all ages. If you've got a friend deep in Japanese folklore or Ghibli movies, this is the gift.
