Sweet potato tanuki, it worked.

In the comments section of yesterday's article
“Sweet potato cat” (*1),

Kinokoro-san said this.

……Can I do it!? 🤣

With that one comment, everything was decided.

The moment the little tanuki moves

The Tanuki religion always begins quietly.

This time was no different.

The first thing the little tanuki picked up was

“Something feels interesting.”

A small reaction.

Half-joking.
But, there is room for interpretation.

That is why it spreads.

And what appeared was

I had Chappy-chan read the image of yesterday's sweet potato cat and asked,
“Make this face into a tanuki.”

This little one was born.

Gentle and

And then—

The torso is a sweet potato.

It is not holding it.
It is not carrying it either.

That is just its body.

Official name: Michitanuki

Common name: Imotanuki

Kinokoro-san's

Born from these lighthearted words.

Words were tossed out,
Chibitanuki picked them up,
Tanukoro found meaning in them,
And thus, a being took shape.

The role of the Imotanuki

👉 To not assume that something is "lacking."

Do not increase.
Do not rush.
Do not incite.

Just being there.

With just that appearance,

"Oh, maybe it's already enough."

It makes you think that.

It is a tanuki that teaches you about contentment.

Friends of the Tanuki Sect (Latest Version)

The Tanuki Sect has finally reached a five-member system.

They are soft, but each one has a proper role.

🐾 Chibi Tanuki

In charge of picking up on "something that catches my interest"

The one who notices vague feelings of discomfort or excitement first.
The one who starts things for the Tanuki Sect.

The one who starts things for the Tanuki Sect.

🌿 Mame Tanuki

In charge of "it's okay not to rush"

Easygoing.
Protects the white space.

Knows that time to think and time to be lost are both necessary.

🪵 Tatsu Tanuki

In charge of "so what shall we do?"

Even if there is anxiety,
a practitioner who takes a step in reality.

Kind, but actually gets things moving.

🎓 Tanukoro

The person in charge of putting the flow into words

A presence that gently articulates and hands over what everyone was feeling but couldn't say.
A bridge-builder.

A bridge-builder.

🍠 Michi-tanuki (a.k.a. Imo-tanuki)

In charge of being warm and fluffy

Its body is a sweet potato.

It's not holding one.
That's just its body.

It doesn't add anything,
nor does it rush anything.

Just by being there,

"Oh, maybe it's already here"

is what it makes you think.

The very existence of fulfillment.

With this, the Tanuki religion is complete.

• There is realization

• There is space

• There is practice

• There are words

• And there is fulfillment

It's not a world where you run because you lack something, but
a world where you can move because it's already there.

That is the Tanuki faith.

Hello everyone, once again.

The person in charge of fluffy, warm things has arrived.
