  “ Well, the tanuki, or racoon dog, is a real animal, but the japanese have given it mythical attributes.
  Similar to the mythical attributes they've given to foxes, and other beasts. ”

  “ Arutsuro-san.
  In one of your pics from Sakura Matsuri you asked, "kore nani?", about a strange animal statue on the stage.
  That is a tanuki, also called a racoon dog.
  It is supposed to be a mischievous shape-shifting animal in japanese folklore.
  Many people in japan own statues of the tanuki for luck. Hope that helps. :) ”
