Subject:Identify artist
Posted By: Dorothy Woll Mon, Oct 15, 2018 IP: 2601:648:8401:1a41:4

I am trying to identify the artist of this Raccoon or Badger with tea kettle. I've seen similar works during Edo period. Thank you.

This may may be a Tanuki, the legendary 'Raccoon Dog' of Japan. The real life animal is unrelated to either raccoons or dogs. See link to Wikipedia.org.

Best regards,
