Hi! I have questions on this Tanuki statue! I attached one pic for your reference. 👍

I found a Tanuki is abandoned beside the road of a residential area. I knew it is a Japanese stuff but I don't know much about it. I remember I saw it in a house before and I think they abandoned it because they have moved away. I think of carrying it back home since I like it and I think it's quite cute. But my friend told me it's for luck of restauranteers and I'm not a shop owner. hahahah! However I think it'll look good placing in the garden!

What do you think??? Should I take it back?? Will it have any good or bad effect after if I take it back home??? I'm quite confused! Can any of you giving me some advice and lend me your knowledge on it? Thanks! :)

It is "raccoon dog" of "Sigaraki yaki". :)
In Japan, it is an ornament of business prosperity. 👍
There are very many shops putting this raccoon dog in Kansai.

An umbrella expresses "a good luck charm".
Big eyes || "judgment"
A round face || "amiability"
A sake bottle || "food drink"
A bankbook || "creditworthiness"
A big stomach || "decision"
A money bag || "luck with money"
A tail || "crowning beauty"
It is a mascot praying for business prosperity. 🙂

You found good luck.
 
If you like it, take it home with you. Regular people in Japan, not just shop owners, also put these in their gardens.
 
that's the thing Super Mario can get a suit that makes him into rock when you press some button combo or other, is it not?
 
You know, now I'm thinking of giving it a new paint. 'Cause its paint has fallen off, so I wonder how I can get it a good look without ruin it! hahahha! And it's hard to find the colour paints for it!
