Tanuki Magics Balls (Part I)

Enjoy this bunch of legendary Tanukis using their magicals testicles in this beautiful woodblock prints, by the artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
















We love their “let’s wrap our bollocks together to get those fish for the diner, dude” spirit.
The explanation about their giant balls : “It is worth noting the raccoon dog’s testicles are a motif unrelated to sexuality or fertility, and instead are merely a symbol of good luck and an element of silly, earthy, risqué humor.”
…okay.
