It's a tanuki (http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tanuki.shtml), not a raccoon. There's a precedent for it's nutsack to swing sweetly from side to side. :-)
So that's who that is. I collect the white drinking cups from Japan. I have a large collection filled with geishas ninjas buddha etc. I have one that I thought was a bear with large genitalia but I see it must be tanuki. Here's a pic of one similar to mine to see if I am correct. Am I?
BTW....thank you for teaching me something new today. More trivia to clutter my mind. I can't wait to tell people the story behind my cup with large genitals!

Christ, that's been bugging me. For I don't know how long
now, I've been having a WTF? reaction to that horrid raccoon.
Guess it's time to write another "Dear Japan, what the fuck's
wrong with you?" letter.

Re: About Fucking Time!
That it would be. Terrestial tanuki are cute little buggers. There are MANY legends of spirit tanuki in Japan as well.
BTW, unless I am mistaken, the "badger" servant of the letcherous monk on Inuyasha is actually a tanuki.

Re: About Fucking Time!
Traditionally, one would leave offerings of saki to the tanuki idols.
