Typical Price
The tanuki (raccoon dog) holds a special place in Japanese folklore, and Kasamatsu's portrayal balances naturalistic observation with the creature's whimsical cultural associations. Likely an Unsodo publication, standard editions sell for $200-$600. This subject has particular charm for collectors familiar with the tanuki's role in Japanese storytelling and folk art.
