Aw! Hooray for Tanuki Boo!

I have a Tanuki windchime from the Shiga prefecture, the area I stayed during a high school trip to Japan. We called the Tanuki's big balled badgers, as they were always... well endowed!

Congrats on picking out a name! :) Your little Nuki is super cute, and looks right at home on his new bed.
