TANUKI RACCOON DOG SAKE CUP

Tanuki are a shapeshifting tricksters from Japanese folklore (also featured in the movie Pom Poko by Studio Ghibli). But, they are an actual animal that lives in Japan; they are raccoon dogs. We just couldn't resist these adorable tanuki effigy sake cups! Even if you don't drink sake, these little vessels can be used as pinch pots for herbs in your kitchen, used teabag holders, a ring dish or jewelry catch all, or on your desk to hold paperclips or pushpins. Endless possibilities for these clever cuties. These are all ceramic and are foodsake. They measure 103/4" high by 2" wide.
