The Tanuki statue has long been a staple of Japanese gardens and is also often times featured at the entrances of homes and businesses.
Our solid concrete Tanuki statues are cast in fiber reinforced concrete. They are sculpted and moulded right here at the bamboo nursery.
We allow the concrete to wet cure slowly for over a month for optimal strength.
Each piece then dries for an additional 90 days prior to being painted and sealed.
These made in the USA Tanuki feature the Tanuki's most well known traits: A cheeky broad smile, large eyes, straw hat, business ledger or promissory note, sake flask, walking stick, and most notably - the oversized and very visible 'male assets' that are said to provide good luck financially according to Japanese folklore.
