Dive into the Japanese myth of the shape-shifting tanuki, as the raccoon-like creature rewards a traveling salesman for his kindness. On the dusty roads of a small village, a traveling salesman was having difficulty selling his wares. As he wandered the outskirts of town in the hopes of finding some new customers, he heard a high-pitched yelp coming from the edge of the forest. Following the screams to their source, he discovered a trapped tanuki. Iseult Gillespie details the Japanese myth of the shape-shifting creature

Myth are so awesome there like old science. It shows how certain scientific phenomenons were explained by persons who were uneducated. They are culturally important. It shows us about our history and helps us understand ourselves.

I was stationed in Japan for 2 years, and I heard more about the Tanuki in S. Korea (when I was deployed there) than I did in Japan. I also heard them called Binjo beasts.
