Abstract:
  • This print is of tanuki, or racoon dogs, who can magically transform their testicles into various objects, like boats, bicycles, tables, arm rests, etc... The raccoon dog's magical ability to transform this way is legendary, but this print is interesting because it combines the legend with western dress, customs, and technologies.
