What is "Shinjotanuki"?
The Lisa Larson exhibition held in Shigaraki in 2015 is the beginning of the Shinjutanuki. Lisa, who wanted to do something special, came up with two things if an exhibition could be done in this place, one of Japan's leading pottery. One is to create a giant monument "Tree of Life" in this area and donate it to a pottery forest (this is the eldest son, Matthias, supervised), and the other is Lisa's tanuki at a local pottery. It was to make it. It is said that Tanuki always acts as a couple, her husband is enthusiastic about raising children, and does not change her partner for a lifetime, and there is an association of "Tanuki who believes in each other", which is "Shigaraki". This child was named "Shinjutanuki", when he was connected to the "Shin" in the character, and then the message that "the pleasure of believing" is the pleasure of living. Since the exhibition, it has been made with Shigaraki ware, and now it has become a long seller that represents Lisa's Japan Series.
